I've a few different m/b that needed option TIMER_FREQ in order to 
get frequency for use with ntpd within capture range. When I last 
updated them in August, I found with same kernel config previously 
used the frequency offset was way out, adjustments to TIMER_FREQ no 
longer had desired effect and when I removed option TIMER_FREQ I was 
getting near zero frequency offset. It seems there is now some 
working auto calibration.

Probably worth trying without that option but 37x slow might be a 
different problem.
