I'm not really convinced of the value of this message.

People who limit their CPUs on the command line or at compile time
really should know what they are doing. The kernel already tells that
there are rejected CPUs and that extra TSC info is just annoying and
confusing noise for people who run that and have a perfectly working TSC
on a single/dual/quad socket machine.

I just drop that noise.
