[NET]: Disable NET_SCH_CLK_CPU for SMP x86 hosts
Opterons with frequency scaling have fully unsynchronized TSCs running at different frequencies, so using TSCs there is not a good idea. Also some other x86 boxes have this problem. gettimeofday should be good enough, so just disable it. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
