[CC'ing also others that may got this issue]

Can you please upgrade to the newest CURRENT, try the attached patch
and report if system choiches the right timer alone:
http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/Sandvine/STABLE_8/statclock_aliasing/statclock-fixup.diff

with 'alone', I mean that you might strip from config all the helping
tips (machdep.lapic_allclocks).

Thanks,
Attilio
