    x86/tsc: Provide 'tsc=unstable' boot parameter · 8309f86c

    Since the clocksource watchdog will only detect broken TSC after the
    fact, all TSC based clocks will likely have observed non-continuous
    values before/when switching away from TSC.
    
    Therefore only thing to fully avoid random clock movement when your
    BIOS randomly mucks with TSC values from SMI handlers is reporting the
    TSC as unstable at boot.
