|     x86: tsc prevent time going backwards

it has been identified to cause suspend regression - and the
commit fixes a longstanding bug that existed before 2.6.25 was
opened - so it can wait some more until the effects are better
understood.

- * We compare the TSC to the cycle_last value in the clocksource
- * structure to avoid a nasty time-warp. This can be observed in a
- * very small window right after one CPU updated cycle_last under
- * xtime/vsyscall_gtod lock and the other CPU reads a TSC value which
- * is smaller than the cycle_last reference value due to a TSC which
- * is slighty behind. This delta is nowhere else observable, but in
- * that case it results in a forward time jump in the range of hours
- * due to the unsigned delta calculation of the time keeping core
- * code, which is necessary to support wrapping clocksources like pm
