If you like that, I'm willing to discuss it further, and/or commit it
and let the howling tell if it's a keeper or not. ;^)
Did you try this? I didn't, but I would expect to see this message
_every time_ (because of minor timecounter rate changes).
Yes, but only once, and then forced a change by re-running it. Maybe I
just got 'lucky.' Feel free to suggest 'better' tests, or parts to
throw out of dmesg.boot before the test.
The ACPI-fast, ACPI-safe, TSC and i8xxx timecounter frequency needs to
be removed IMO. Sometimes I also see a very small change in the probe
order... but I don't remember exacly what's changing and what's
causing it.
Bye,
Alexander.
