This patch is the first step to test some basic hardware functions like
TSC to help people understand if there is any hardware latency as well
as throughput problem exposed on bare metal or left behind by BIOS or
interfered by SMI. Currently the patch tests TSC, CPU Frequency and
RDRAND which is a new CPU instruction to get random number introduced in
new CPU like Intel Ivy Bridge in stop_machine context,which is choosen to
make sure testers fully control their system under test to rule out some
level of unwanted noise.
