Well, we can measure suspend using the ntp corrected frequency, so that 
should be ok, assuming the freq doesn't change during suspend.

But yes, the long term accuracy will depend on the actual hardware 
implementation, so we'll have to see what the hardware does.

Even so, other boards have similar non-stop clocksources in suspend that 
could be used in a similar fashion, so I think this is still the right 
appraoch.
