/*
 * test module to check whether the TSC-based delay routine continues
 * to work properly after cpufreq transitions. Needs ACPI to work
 * properly.
 *
 * Based partly on the Power Management Timer (PMTMR) code to be found
 * in arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_pm.c on recent 2.6. kernels, especially
 * code written by John Stultz. The read_pmtmr function was copied verbatim
 * from that file.
 *
 * (C) 2004 Dominik Brodowski
 *
 * To use:
 * 1.) pass clock=tsc to the kernel on your bootloader
 * 2.) modprobe this module (it'll fail)
 * 3.) change CPU frequency
 * 4.) modprobe this module again
 * 5.) if the third value, "diff_pmtmr", changes between 2. and 4., the
 *     TSC-based delay routine on the Linux kernel does not correctly
 *     handle the cpufreq transition. Please report this to
 *     linux-pm@vger.kernel.org
