Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init. There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that point so no real wreckage is expected.
