Excessive SWI8: clock activity on Intel SDV (Bandeera 4X SMP)

[Garry Forsgren]

After booting a SMP kernel from FreeBSD
5.2-20040528-SNAP #1, on an Intel SDV (Bandeera 4X)
the system seems to be running very slow.  With the
system idle, vmstat reports about 20% system cpu and
10% interrupt cpu usage.  Also systat indicates SWI8:
clock activity in addition to the normal idle
activity.

The same SMP kernel appears to run fine on a different
Intel SDV (Lyon 4X).  

Are there any special setup steps required using the
Intel Bandeera SDV?
