[RFC-PATCH] clocksource: update lpj if clocksource has been changed.

From: MyungJoo Ham
Date: Thu Nov 11 2010 - 03:36:29 EST


With a clocksource change, loops_per_jiffy may have been changed; thus,
the loops_per_jiffy in each cpu should be updated. Especially after some
of the cpus were turned off and on, their loops_per_jiffy values are
updated while the cpus kept on are not. Therefore, in order to make them
"normalized equally", we need to let the loops_per_jiffy values of
different cpus be based on the same clocksource.
