That's the fudge factor needed to make that box keep reasonable time.

At one level, it's the difference between the number printed on the 
oscillator package and the actual frequency coming out of the package.  On 
another level, it's what the kernel measures at startup time.  That 
measurement includes things like spread spectrum (EMI) and bugs in the 
calibration software.

It's usually a good thermometer.
