Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86: Reduce verbosity of "TSC is reliable" message
Date
On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable.

once for every non-boot CPU. This gets kind of ridiculous on huge
systems; for example, on a 64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

$ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc
63 567 4221

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is just
checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a printk_once() to make
the message appears only once.
