Actually I'm getting this also when booting Dom0 (pvops 2.6.31.6-based)
with clocksource=jifffies:
Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 62528016 ns)
But, there are not visible problems like kbd hiccup or process
scheduling in VM (besides wallclock drift in Dom0 which is annoying).

I'm not very much of an ACPI expert, so if there are any output I can
send, just let me know.
