    MIPS: sync-r4k: Rework based on x86 tsc_sync · 580724fc
    Jiaxun Yang authored
    The original sync-r4k did a good job on reducing jitter by determine
    the "next time value", but it has a limitation that when synchronization
    being performed too many times due to high core count or CPU hotplug,
    the timewrap on CPU0 will become unaccpetable.
    
    Rework the mechanism based on latest x86 tsc_sync. (It seems like
    the original implementation is based on tsc_sync at that time,
    so it's just a refresh.) To improve overall performance.
    
    Tesed on Loongson64, Boston, QEMU.
