x86: Use dmi check in apic_is_clustered() on 64-bit to mark the TSC unstable
We will have systems with 2 and more sockets 8cores/2thread, but we treat them as multi chassis - while they could have a stable TSC domain. Use DMI check instead. [ Impact: do not turn possibly stable TSCs off incorrectly ] Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> LKML-Reference: <49F5532A.5000802@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
