/** @file
The Timer Library implementation which uses the Time Stamp Counter in the processor.
For Pentium 4 processors, Intel Xeon processors (family [0FH], models [03H and higher]);
for Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo processors (family [06H], model [0EH]);
for the Intel Xeon processor 5100 series and Intel Core 2 Duo processors (family [06H], model [0FH]);
for Intel Core 2 and Intel Xeon processors (family [06H], display_model [17H]);
for Intel Atom processors (family [06H], display_model [1CH]):
the time-stamp counter increments at a constant rate.
That rate may be set by the maximum core-clock to bus-clock ratio of the processor or may be set by
the maximum resolved frequency at which the processor is booted. The maximum resolved frequency may
differ from the maximum qualified frequency of the processor.
The specific processor configuration determines the behavior. Constant TSC behavior ensures that the
duration of each clock tick is uniform and supports the use of the TSC as a wall clock timer even if
the processor core changes frequency. This is the architectural behavior moving forward.
A Processor's support for invariant TSC is indicated by CPUID.0x80000007.EDX[8].

/** Calculate TSC frequency.
The TSC counting frequency is determined by comparing how far it counts
during a 1ms period as determined by the ACPI timer. The ACPI timer is
used because it counts at a known frequency.
If ACPI I/O space not enabled, this function will enable it. Then the
TSC is sampled, followed by waiting for 3579 clocks of the ACPI timer, or 1ms.
The TSC is then sampled again. The difference multiplied by 1000 is the TSC
frequency. There will be a small error because of the overhead of reading
the ACPI timer. An attempt is made to determine and compensate for this error.
@return The number of TSC counts per second.

The time-stamp counter (as implemented in the P6 family, Pentium, Pentium M,
Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo processors and
later processors) is a 64-bit counter that is set to 0 following a RESET of
the processor. Following a RESET, the counter increments even when the
processor is halted by the HLT instruction or the external STPCLK# pin. Note
that the assertion of the external DPSLP# pin may cause the time-stamp
counter to stop.
The properties of the counter can be retrieved by the
