[PATCH] x86: add the X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC_S3 cpu capability to new cpu

From: Compostella, Jeremy
Date: Thu Oct 23 2014 - 13:28:52 EST


New Intel Atom processors (Baytrail and Cherryview), have a TSC that won't stop
in S3 state, say the TSC value won't be reset to 0 after resume. This feature
makes TSC a more reliable clocksource and could benefit the timekeeping code
during system suspend/resume cycle.
