The attached patch is sufficient to make coreinfo run on a machine
without TSC, however while trying to get FILO to run I've realised
this involves more changes than I originally expected.
cpu_khz gets exposed as a global, so it's going to be very difficult
to support CPUs without TSC, without
I'm amazed to hear that there is a CPU without TSC, here in the 21st century :-)
Why not a config option for "older CPU" that would disable newer
features -- otherwise people are going to have to guess which features
they have and which they don't.
What other "modern" features is this 150 Mhz CPU

I think so.

I think a config option for this would be fine.

As this is not a library to be installed on any system, a compile time
option should suffice.
