Hmm, CPU#1 has ~ double speed of CPU#0

That's extremly strange. This is inside of
clocksource_calculate_interval() in:

static void change_clocksource(void)
{
        struct clocksource *new;
        cycle_t now;
        u64 nsec;

        new = clocksource_get_next();

        if (clock == new)
                return;

        now = clocksource_read(new);
        nsec =  __get_nsec_offset();
        timespec_add_ns(&xtime, nsec);

        clock = new;
        clock->cycle_last = now;

        clock->error = 0;
        clock->xtime_nsec = 0;
	clocksource_calculate_interval(clock, NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH);

        tick_clock_notify();

        printk(KERN_INFO "Time: %s clocksource has been installed.\n",
               clock->name);
}

So clock seems to be NULL, but was accessed before
clocksource_calculate_interval() as well.
