[PATCH] x86-64: Fix bad assumption that dualcore cpus have synced TSCs

This should resolve the issue seen in bugme bug #5105, where it is assumed
that dualcore x86_64 systems have synced TSCs.  This is not the case, and
alternate timesources should be used instead.

For more details, see:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105

Andi's earlier concerns that the TSCs should be synced on dualcore systems
have been resolved by confirmation from AMD folks that they can be
unsynced.
