Having CONFIG_X86_TSC disabled does not prevent Linux from using the TSC.
In fact the TSC is used whenever available then and Linux falls back to
non-TSC based code otherwise.
On the other hand when you have CONFIG_X86_TSC enabled then Linux does
not work for TSC-less machines at all; it just panics on them. Basically
enabling this option just excludes the code for non-TSC machines.
