[PATCH 0/4] V3 Hypervisor detection and tsc_reliable featuredefinition

[Alok Kataria]

Hi,

These patches define a framework for hypervisor detection and setting of
hypervisor feature bits. We define a X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE bit which
is a synthetic bit. This is set when running under VMware. This  feature
bit is used to skip TSC checks which can fail on virtualization platform
due to timing differences when running on virtual cpus.

Thanks,
Alok
