There is a commit to lift the watchdog check for morden qualified
platforms: b50db7095fe0 ("Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on
qualified platorms"). But the patforms need to have 'tsc_adjust'
feature (has a TSC_ADJUST MSR), which can't be found in the above
lscpu info.

And I'm have no idea if there is a real hardware/firmware issue
or just a false alarm.

Thanks,
Feng
