[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable

Browse Source 
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:

1) Does not support frequency scaling,

2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted.  Furthermore, the Geode
   supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
   interacts with the power management states) is entered.  TSC counting
   during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
   Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).

3) no SMP :)

Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for
verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource
for the highres timers subsystem.
