Hrm.. Again, this looks more like something off with the MSI quirk bits.

I'm a little stumped right off how the refined calibration would impact
this. The only difference would be that the TSC clocksource isn't
registered at that point (because the refined calibration pushed the
registration back a bit), so you might be using the HPET at this point
instead of the TSC.

Let me know how the clocksource= boot bits changed things.
