[PATCH] x86_64: On Intel CPUs don't do an additional CPU sync before RDTSC
RDTSC serialization using cpuid is not needed for Intel platforms. This increases gettimeofday performance. Cc: vojtech@suse.cz Cc: rohit.seth@intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
