Revert "[PATCH] x86_64: Only do the clustered systems have unsynchronized TSC assumption on IBM systems"
This reverts commit 13a229abc25640813f1480c0478dfc6bdbc1c19e. Quoth Andi: "After some consideration and feedback from various people it turns out this wasn't that good an idea. It has some problems and needs more work. Since it was only an optimization anyways it's best to just back it out again for now." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
