^^^^^ These I can buy as the result of an uninitialized variable. Why are
we not initializing this counter to zero?

^^^^^ Ok, we finally seem to have initialized the counter...
[ 27.121583] Using tsc for high-res timesource
^^^^^ 27 seconds??? Something is off here. It certainly doesn't take 27 sec
to get from the previous message to this one during the actual boot.
What's up with that?

...
No big deal, but it sure would look better (and be actually useful for the
first few messages) if things started out at zero and then actually
increased sanely from the very beginning. :-)
