+/** @file
+ A Pei 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].
