Ideally fast_gettimeoffset_quotient would not be used outside timer_tsc
and cpu_khz would be initialized generically outside the timer
subsystem. I have patches to do this, but they touch quite a bit of
generic code, and I'd rather not make the timer_cyclone enablement
(patch to follow) depend on these larger changes. 
Comments, flames and suggestions welcome.
thanks
