[PATCH 23/23] clocksource tsc: add verify routine

From: Daniel Walker
Date: Tue Jan 30 2007 - 22:57:42 EST


I've included this as another user of the clocksource interface. I don't see a
usage for this across all achitectures. So a fully generic version isn't needed.

I modified this from the pre 2.6.20-rc6-mm2 release to make the routine smaller
and to make it select a clocksource inside the timer. It should work with an HPET.
