Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/tsc: use CPUID.0x16 to calculate missing crystal frequency

native_calibrate_tsc() had a data mapping Intel CPU families
and crystal clock speed, but hardcoded tables are not ideal, and this
approach was already problematic at least in the Skylake X case, as
seen in commit b51120309348 ("x86/tsc: Fix erroneous TSC rate on Skylake
Xeon").

By examining CPUID data from http://instlatx64.atw.hu/ and units
in the lab, we have found that 3 different scenarios need to be dealt
with, and we can eliminate most of the hardcoded data using an approach a
little more advanced than before:

1. ApolloLake, GeminiLake, CannonLake (and presumably all new chipsets
from this point) report the crystal frequency directly via CPUID.0x15.
That's definitive data that we can rely upon.

2. Skylake, Kabylake and all variants of those two chipsets report a
crystal frequency of zero, however we can calculate the crystal clock
speed by condidering data from CPUID.0x16.

This method correctly distinguishes between the two crystal clock
frequencies present on different Skylake X variants that caused
headaches before.

As the calculations do not quite match the previously-hardcoded values
in some cases (e.g. 23913043Hz instead of 24MHz), TSC refinement is
enabled on all platforms where we had to calculate the crystal
frequency in this way.

3. Denverton (GOLDMONT_X) reports a crystal frequency of zero and does
not support CPUID.0x16, so we leave this entry hardcoded.

Notes:
v2:
- Clarify the situation around Skylake X better.
- Enable TSC refinement when we had to calculate the crystal clock,
in case slight differences in the calculation result cause problems
similar to those reported earlier on Skylake X.

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] x86/tsc: set LAPIC timer period to crystal clock frequency

The APIC timer calibration (calibrate_APIC_timer()) can be skipped
in cases where we know the APIC timer frequency. On Intel SoCs,
we believe that the APIC is fed by the crystal clock; this would make
sense, and the crystal clock frequency has been verified against the
APIC timer calibration result on ApolloLake, GeminiLake, Kabylake,
CoffeeLake, WhiskeyLake and AmberLake.

Set lapic_timer_period based on the crystal clock frequency
accordingly.

APIC timer calibration would normally be skipped on modern CPUs
by nature of the TSC deadline timer being used instead,
however this change is still potentially useful, e.g. if the
TSC deadline timer has been disabled with a kernel parameter.
calibrate_APIC_timer() uses the legacy timer, but we are seeing
new platforms that omit such legacy functionality, so avoiding
such codepaths is becoming more important.
