This is not particularly harmful. It just means the kernel has detected

I had the same problem with an AMD K6-2 on VIA Aladdin V chipset, and it
WAS harmful, time source not sane at all, because the clock went at
about half speed.
What worked for me: using Andrew Morton's kernel, it includes a
via-tsc-fix.patch, now everything's all right.
