Currently the option only disables the runtime watchdog checks. This change allows folks who want to override the boot time TSC stability checks and use the TSC when the system would otherwise disqualify it. There still are some situations that the TSC will be disqualified, such as cpufreq scaling. But these are situations where the box will hang if allowed. Patch also includes a fix for an issue found by Thomas Gleixner, where the TSC disqualification message wouldn't be printed after a call to unsynchronized_tsc().
