Subject: x86/tsc: Provide a means to disable TSC ART
Git-commit: 6c66350d0a482892793b888b07c1177fc6d4b344
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: bsc#1082579
Acked-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz>

On systems where multiple chassis are reset asynchronously, and thus
the TSC counters are started asynchronously, the offset needed to
convert to TSC to ART would be different.  Disable ART in that case
and rely on the TSC counters to supply the accurate time.
