Yup, sorry; I forgot that our TSC maps to actual x86 Time Stamp Counter,
not being some aggregated MI relatively high-precision time keeping thing.

Does not look I can do much about it though:

  $ sysctl kern.timecounter
  kern.timecounter.fast_gettime: 1
  kern.timecounter.tick: 2
  kern.timecounter.choice: timebase(0) dummy(-1000000)
  kern.timecounter.hardware: timebase
  kern.timecounter.alloweddeviation: 5
  kern.timecounter.stepwarnings: 0
  kern.timecounter.tc.timebase.mask: 4294967295
  kern.timecounter.tc.timebase.counter: 3224483187
  kern.timecounter.tc.timebase.frequency: 41620907
  kern.timecounter.tc.timebase.quality: 0
