MFC 276724:
On some Intel CPUs with a P-state but not C-state invariant TSC the TSC
may also halt in C2 and not just C3 (it seems that in some cases the BIOS
advertises its C3 state as a C2 state in _CST). Just play it safe and
disable both C2 and C3 states if a user forces the use of the TSC as the
timecounter on such CPUs.
