I think actually the whole xtime initialisation

xtime.tv_nsec = (INITIAL_JIFFIES % HZ) * (NSEC_PER_SEC / HZ);

is bogus. INITIAL_JIFFIES should not be connected to any actual time, so
this should really just be

xtime.tv_nsec = 0;

I'll try to do a patch later on, and see what happens. Have to do some
work-related things now.
