That's what I don't know. like I said, the xtime seqlock seemed to be implicated, but I've never managed to trace it down.
I also notice that under heavy load the system starts to lose time (at least according to ntp). I suspect there's something wrong with the PIT timer routine (since that's what voyager has to use) for adding lost ticks.
