[PATCH] x86-64: - Ignore long SMI interrupts in clock calibration

Ensure that no SMI interrupts occur between the read of the HPET & TSC
in the clock calibration loop.

I noticed that a 2.66GHz system incorrectly detected the processor
clock speed about 1/7 of the time:

	time.c: Detected 2660.005 MHz processor.	(most of the time)
	time.c: Detected 2988.203 MHz processor.	(sometime)

The problem is caused by an SMI interrupt occuring in hpet_calibrate_tsc()
between the read of the HPET & TSC. Prior to switching the BIOS into
ACPI mode, it appears that every 27msec an SMI interrupt occurs. The
SMI interrupt takes 4.8 msec to process.

Note: On my test system, TICK_MIN had to be >380. I picked 5000
to minimize risk of having a value that is too small for other
platforms.
