Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies. Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC offset is set by software, it's not perfect. So, the TSC synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to skip the TSC sync checks. Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.
