Eeek. We fixed this in mainline via:

commit f79e0258ea1f04d63db499479b5fb855dff6dbc5
Author: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 11 15:33:05 2009 +0200

    clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable, fix crash

and

commit 54a6bc0b071c50150bc6d1da16c2cd9a963e288c
Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date:   Mon Sep 14 19:49:02 2009 +0200

    clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late boot


These patches came via the tip tree right at the beginning of the
merge window several days _before_ I asked Linus to pull the timer
code for 32.

So there is something weird going on.

Thanks,

	tglx
