* AMD Fam10h TSC will tick in all

Centaur CPU has a constant frequency TSC and that TSC does not stop in C-States. But because the flags are not set for that CPU, the TSC is treated as not constant frequency and assumed to stop in C-States, which makes it an unreliable and unusable clock source. Setting those flags tells the kernel that the TSC is usable, so it will select it over HPET. The effect of this is that reading time stamps (from kernel or user space) will be faster and more efficent.
