just a WAG, but lower power draw has been hugely important for years, nobody would sacrifice that for "simplicity", such a feature would be unused. I could imagine enterprise SMM bios disallowing such operation. On dozens of processors over time, TSC has been marked unstable by the kernel, Id suppose that signals a certain distrust of some clocks. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
