Sigh, I thought Intel couldn't *** up the Pentium family anymore
when it came to timekeeping, but they've done it again with the
new clock-throtteling stuff.

I will have to add a sub-mode to the timecounters to use a fucked up
TSC to interpolate between interrrupts from a better time source. I
have no idea when I will have time for that...
