lpj_tsc is declared in include/linux/delay.h, and that declaration is
available in tsc_32.c 

I compile tested against current git too and seems fine to me. 

Also this patch is not to be applied to any tree yet, i will make a
different patch which calculates lpj_tsc from tsc_khz instead and use it
only for the boor processor. 
There were some concerns from Arjan and Pavel regarding cpu frequency
being different on different cpus. I was waiting to hear back from them
before sending a new patch.

Let me know your comments on my questions/suggestions from the earlier
post
