[PATCH] linux-2.5.45_notsc-warning_A0

[john stultz]

Linus, all,
	This patch is a minor cleanup that removes two instances of
CONFIG_X86_TSC (lets the compiler optimize it out), and adds a warning
message should anyone pass "notsc" to a kernel compiled w/
CONFIG_X86_TSC (which ignores it). 

This is basically a forward port of a patch I got into 2.4 a while back.
Please apply.

thanks
-john
