 *
 * We check whether all boot CPUs have their TSC's synchronized,
 * print a warning if not and turn off the TSC clock-source.
 *
 * The warp-check is point-to-point between two CPUs, the CPU
 * initiating the bootup is the 'source CPU', the freshly booting
 * CPU is the 'target CPU'.
 *
 * Only two CPUs may participate - they can enter in any order.
 * ( The serial nature of the boot logic and the CPU hotplug lock
 *   protects against more than 2 CPUs entering this code. )
