Linus, all,
This patch is a minor cleanup that removes two instances of
CONFIG_X86_TSC (lets the compiler optimize it out), and adds a warning
message should anyone pass "notsc" to a kernel compiled w/
CONFIG_X86_TSC (which ignores it).
This is basically a forward port of a patch I got into 2.4 a while back.
Please apply.
thanks
