Another casualty of -rc6

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I just noted my toolbar clock was off by about 45 minutes, with
an uptime on -rc6 or 27hrs & change.

A service ntpd restart resets it, but thats temporary.  
Apic is on, and a cat of /proc/interrupts returns this:
          CPU0
  0:   96565780    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:      92669    IO-APIC-edge  i8042

But when I looked at the log, it was synched to LOCAL.  I have a script
to enhance the logging, runs at 30 minute intervals, and it was logging 
this:

That drift is slightly lower than normal, its usually in the 4.x's.

This is with the newest bios update, which fixed this problem for -rc5.
Looks like reboot time, to -rc5. :(
