I'm using the TSC of the Pentium processors to get some precise timing
delays for writing to a eeprom (bit banging bus operations), and it
works just fine, but the cpu_khz variable isn't exported to a kernel
module, so I hardcoded in my module. It works fine for that one
system, but obviously I don't want to hard code it for the general
case. I guess I could write my own routine to figure out what the
cpu_khz is, but it is already done, so how do I get access to it?
