[PATCH] x86: printk_time to use tsc before cpu_clock is ready

[Yinghai Lu]

so can get tsc value on printk at first.

for debug delay with big system with a lot of memory.

hm, i'm not sure i like the whole direction - this reintroduces 
printk_clock in essence.

how about initializing cpu_clock() sooner, so that printk timestamps 
start ticking as soon as possible?

which will make some archs quite unhappy iirc, see those arm and ia64
bugs I caused the other day.

that's OK - that still allows arches to start their clocks whenever they 
want to. But also add the possibility for architectures to initialize 
things even sooner.
