    sys/i386/isa         clock.c 
  Log:
  Fixed overflow at 2G for writing clock frequencies using sysctls.
  Reads worked correctly using the IU format.  Writes only supported
  signed integers using the CTLTYPE_INT flag.  sysctl(1) parses args for
  CTLTYPE_INT using (int)strtol() and has no range checking of course,
  so read-write of frequencies larger than INT_MAX always blindly corrupts
  the frequency to INT_MAX (2G-1).
  
  This keeps writing of TSC frequencies working up to 4GHz.
