[RFC] [PATCH] linux-2.5.56_clock-override_A1

From: john stultz (johnstul@us.ibm.com)
Date: Fri Mar 21 2003 - 19:28:18 EST


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
-john
