If we determined tsc early in boot using one of the quick methods:
from cpuid/msr/quick_pit, can we assume that frequencies of all other
CPUs will be determined the same way? Or do we still have to fallback
to PIT/HPET/PMTIMER? I wondering if we support heterogeneous
multi-socket platforms with different CPUs, because that the only
platforms where I see such scenario is possible.

Thank you,
Pavel
