It won't. CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP only iterates calibration of the i8254
and TSC timers relative to the RTC. None of the clock calibration stuff
is very useful. All the clock frequencies depend on the temperature,
so their values at boot time are only slightly more related to their
values at run time than their values at a random time. Average values
are probably better than boot time values.
