The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:
1) Does not support frequency scaling,
2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode
supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting
during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).
3) no SMP :)
Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for
verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource
for the highres timers subsystem.
