Subject: x86/tsc: Add the Intel Denverton Processor to native_calibrate_tsc()

From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 695085b4bc7603551db0b3da897b8bf9893ca218 ]

The Intel Denverton microserver uses a 25 MHz TSC crystal,
so we can derive its exact [*] TSC frequency
using CPUID and some arithmetic, eg.:

  TSC: 1800 MHz (25000000 Hz * 216 / 3 / 1000000)

[*] 'exact' is only as good as the crystal, which should be +/- 20ppm
