    sched/clock: Use late_initcall() instead of sched_init_smp() · 2e44b7dd
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Core2 marks its TSC unstable in ACPI Processor Idle, which is probed
    after sched_init_smp(). Luckily it appears both acpi_processor and
    intel_idle (which has a similar check) are mandatory built-in.
    
    This means we can delay switching to stable until after these drivers
    have ran (if they were modules, this would be impossible).
    
    Delay the stable switch to late_initcall() to allow these drivers to
    mark TSC unstable and avoid difficult stable->unstable transitions.
