Ok, I've rebased tip:x86/timers, it now includes the following commits:

ff4c86635ee1 x86/tsc: Enumerate BXT tsc_khz via CPUID
aa297292d708 x86/tsc: Enumerate SKL cpu_khz and tsc_khz via CPUID
02c0cd2dcf7f x86/tsc_msr: Remove irqoff around MSR-based TSC enumeration
6fcb41cdaee5 x86/tsc_msr: Add Airmont reference clock values
05680e7fa8a4 x86/tsc_msr: Correct Silvermont reference clock values
9e0cae9f6227 x86/tsc_msr: Update comments, expand definitions
14bb4e34860a x86/tsc_msr: Remove debugging messages
ba8268330dc1 x86/tsc_msr: Identify Intel-specific code
fc5f3ac24720 Revert "x86/tsc: Add missing Cherrytrail frequency to the table"

Does that work for you?

Thanks,
