Two commits which were missed to be sent during the merge window.
- The TSC calibration fix turns out to be more urgent as recent Skylake-X
systems seem to have massive trouble with calibration disturbance. This
should go back into stable for that reason and it the risk of breakage
is rather low.
- Drop an unused define
Thanks,
tglx
