Nice series from a quick glance! I'll have a deeper look on monday.

One thing on top. From your earlier reply:

As we already know that the legacy calibration cannot work on those
machines, we really should splt out the msr/cpuid based calibration method
into a separate function, which is set for the intel MID stuff and called
from native_calibrate_tsc/cpu.

Hmm?
