Mike Silbersack 5cf8ac1bc2 Disable TSC usage inside SMP VM environments. On my VMware ESXi 4.1
environment with a core i5-2500K, operation in this mode causes timeouts
from the mpt driver.  Switching to the ACPI-fast timer resolves this issue.
Switching the VM back to single CPU mode also works, which is why I have
not disabled the TSC in that mode.

I did not test with KVM or other VM environments, but I am being cautious
and assuming that the TSC is not reliable in SMP mode there as well.
