[x86] unstable: mark the TSC clocksource as unstable, this
marks the TSC unconditionally unstable at bootup and
avoids any further wobbles once the TSC watchdog notices.
+ [x86] nowatchdog: disable clocksource watchdog. Used
+ in situations with strict latency requirements (where
+ interruptions from clocksource watchdog are not
+ acceptable).
