   5 *
   6 * We check whether all boot CPUs have their TSC's synchronized,
   7 * print a warning if not and turn off the TSC clock-source.
   8 *
   9 * The warp-check is point-to-point between two CPUs, the CPU
  10 * initiating the bootup is the 'source CPU', the freshly booting
  11 * CPU is the 'target CPU'.
  12 *
  13 * Only two CPUs may participate - they can enter in any order.
  14 * ( The serial nature of the boot logic and the CPU hotplug lock
  15 *   protects against more than 2 CPUs entering this code. )
