I misunderstand Nate Lawson's words at the first time I read,
but he said about the cvs-all *mailing-list* archive.
And I found the mail about keyword "clock" in it.
I will try going back to before this change (by using cvsup etc).

I met like as above (but I did not record it in details),
On BIOS setting of "POWER" (maybe this means APM setting),
CPU speed setting is "fixed maximum" now on my ThinkPad A22e,
so booting message of FreeBSD says CPU MHz as maximum speed.
But when I set temporarily BIOS CPU speed as "medium" or something like that,
booting message of FreeBSD said CPU MHz as half of maximum speed,
and snd_ich said "link rate" as *half* of normal frequency.
(note that when clock works slowly,
snd_ich says "link rate" as *double* of normal frequenccy)

Thank you, but would you wait for my trial of above files about clock?
I will try it at this night JST :-)
