[PATCH 1/1] i386: Geode's TSC is not neccessary to mark tu unstable

[TAKADA Yoshihito <takada@mbf.nifty.com>]

Hi. I reported to remove pit_latch_buggy(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/10/8).
In the report, I stated that TSC was unstable.
When I installed 2.6.21, GeodeGX's TSC is stable.
It was fixed by http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 and follow:

commit 6b3964cde70cfe6db79d35b42137431ef7d2f7e4

    [PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementations

In 2.6.22, marks unstable GeodeGX's TSC. However, it is not necessary to 
mark TSC is unstable.
