On TSC calibration, as I read it, it is only the fast calibration which
fails, not slow (regular) calibration.  Both have "Marking TSC unstable
due to TSC halts in idle" logged later, and I have no idea whether that
is significant, although I suspect not.  (Amongst other things, it would
not explain why b43 works on a warm boot.)
