All,
This patch allows one to manually specify the i386 gettimeofday
time-source by passing clock=[pit|tsc|cyclone|...] as a boot argument.
The argument will override the default probled selection, and in case
the selected time-source not be avalible the code defaults to using the
PIT (printing a warning saying so).
The new changes in this release are basically better whitespace and
__init usage (thanks Andrew).
I'm still tracking an issue between this and the cpu_freq code, so let
me know if it doesn't work or if you see anything terminally stupid.
thanks
