That's OK; I can probably safely assume it's the M1533 device.

Ok, so far so good.

Ok, I think we have the enemy in sight.  Can you please say:

set debug.acpi.timer_test="yes"

at the loader prompt and boot?  Ideally, you'll get a message "timer is 
not monotonic", followed by some numbers.  If this is the case, then I 
need to get "smarter" with the ACPI timer probe.

Thanks!
