+  Calculate TSC frequency.
+
+  The TSC counting frequency is determined by comparing how far it counts
+  during a 100us period as determined by the ACPI timer. The ACPI timer is
+  used because it counts at a known frequency.
+  The TSC is sampled, followed by waiting for ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY / 10000
+  clocks of the ACPI timer, or 100us. The TSC is then sampled again. The
+  difference multiplied by 10000 is the TSC frequency. There will be a small
+  error because of the overhead of reading the ACPI timer. An attempt is
+  made to determine and compensate for this error.
+
+  @return The number of TSC counts per second.
