We had this discussion last September, along with Mike Smith.

We discussed using the calibration stuff in config, and not to use
CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP.

It was noted the 8254 was unstable and TSC could not be used to
improve it.

As a result of the conversation, I wound up with
CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION.

The drift of the clock started lately, within the past month.  My
config entry dates to last September.
I will stop using the 8254.

Thanks,
tomdean
