Tried mainline too:
ubuntu@oil-phelps:~$ ./clocktest 
Testing for clock jitter on 8 cpus
PASSED: largest jitter seen was 0.000385

Testing clock direction for 5 minutes...
FAILED: Iteration 0 delta: 3.654284
FAILED: Iteration 1 delta: 1.010557
FAILED: Iteration 2 delta: 0.734235
FAILED: Iteration 3 delta: 0.200061
FAILED: Iteration 4 delta: 0.229663
clock direction test: sleeptime 60 sec per iteration, failed iterations: 5

I wonder, however, if this is not signs of a failing CPU?  cpuinfo says this is 
an Opteron 6320.  I tried it on another system with an Opteron 6172 and it 
worked fine:
ubuntu@bysen:~$ ./clocktest 
Testing for clock jitter on 24 cpus
PASSED: largest jitter seen was 0.001858

Testing clock direction for 5 minutes...
PASSED: Iteration 0 delta: 0.000109
PASSED: Iteration 1 delta: 0.000101
PASSED: Iteration 2 delta: 0.000100
PASSED: Iteration 3 delta: 0.000103
PASSED: Iteration 4 delta: 0.000101
clock direction test: sleeptime 60 sec per iteration, failed iterations: 0

Given that its limited to one system and regardless of kernel, I'm
betting it's an actual hardware issue.
