It doesn't look like it is the timecounters. I just added some printfs
and it looks like this:

pcm0: measured ac97 link rate at 512000000 Hz
t1 1.098359, t2 1.098363
ociv 0, nciv 1, bytes 8192
tsc1 445813142, tsc2 445821922, diff 8780

The tsc values are just from rdtsc(), I added tsc1 = rdtsc() just above
the first microtime() and tsc2 just after the last. My machine is a 1.8G
P4 (ICH2), so the timecounter values seem correct.

I have kernel around the middle of Feb that gets the value right and one
from March 4 that gets it all wrong.
