s2ram recently became useful here, except for the kernel's annoying
habit of disabling my P4's perfectly good TSC.

If check_tsc_warp() is called after initial boot, and the TSC has in the
meantime been set (BIOS, user, silicon, elves) to a value lower than the
last stored/stale value, we blame the TSC.  Reset to pristine condition
after every test.
