Some earlier BIOSes (BIOSi?) had problems with the statclock. You must compile a customized kernel.

You have to build a special kernel for that. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for details. Remember to check the version of the SMP spec. you're using (generally settable in the BIOS). You want 1.4.

Intel forgot that reading an asynchronous counter needs a latch to get reliable readings: There is about 4% risk of reading a bogus value from the PIIX counter. I have also added some checks to try to avoid using bogus timestamps should they occur again/still. Please let me know if you see either of the "calcru: negative time" or the new ""microuptime() went backwards ..." warnings after this change.
