So I got the patch queue up and running and it's functioning correctly on the box I tested it with (although its not a super interesting box: TSC is unstable and it only has ACPI PM).
Although I've not been able to test changing clocksources, I assume you gave that a whirl? I'll test that as soon as I can get access to a TSC friendly box.
Once the "cycles_last = 0" fix is in to make sure TSC boxes work, I think this set should be ok to go in.
