[PATCH v4 0/3] Add arch TSC frequency information

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

The first patch adds the #system_tsc_freq literal to expr.c and
computes it via cpuid. The second patches adds support for "older"
processors by computing the value via /proc/cpuinfo. The third patch
adds a test then the computation looks somewhat sensible.

Such a literal is useful to calculate things like the average
frequency [1]. The TSC frequency isn't exposed by sysfs although some
experimental drivers look to add it [2].

v4. Modified the patch order and separated out the test.
v3. Added the cpuid approach from Kan Liang.
v2. Adds warnings to make clear if things have changed/broken on future
    Intel platforms. It also adds caching and an Intel specific that a
    value is computed.
