I have absolutely no idea, if it is the right thing to do and why it
works, but the patch below fixes the problem. Thank you for your help.


Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] Fix fast TSC calibration

Since commit 73f7d1ca32638028e3271f54616773727e2f9f26 the fast TSC calibration
failed on a Thinkpad X121e with an AMD E450 APU. Moving acpi_early_init() after
late_time_init() fixes this.
