K, did significant poking.

native_calibrate_cpu is getting precidence no matter what because on SKL 
server, native_calibrate_tsc is always returning zero (Note that there is a 
caveat 2 lines down).

In native_calibrate_tsc, I'm seeing it always return zero after the `switch 
(boot_cpu_data.x86_model)`.  crystal_khz is zero so it rolls through that, 
never assigns it.

Now I'm apparently not testing on production CPU's.  I've requested that they 
drop em' in so I can ensure `CPUID 15H TSC/Crystal ratio` doesn't differ 
between the ES and Prod silicon, since that will effect the math 

Anyways, Then after calibrate is found to be zero, it's utilizing the CPUID 
calculation from native_calibrate_cpu for tsc_khz since that's returning a 
'proper' value when it does the reassignment:

---
    if (tsc_khz == 0) /* Hits here and reassigns tsc_khz to the cpuid 
calculation. */
        tsc_khz = cpu_khz;
    else if (abs(cpu_khz - tsc_khz) * 10 > tsc_khz)
        cpu_khz = tsc_khz;
---

I'll post another update when I've checked with Prod CPU's, /probably/ tomorrow.
