Patch below would probably work, but I cannot test it right now on real
hardware due to ACPI issue. It worked for me in qemu.
commit 4f2ffd93b36d20eae61495776fc6b0855745fd7f
Author: Konstantin Belousov <kib at freebsd.org>
Date: Fri Jun 22 13:19:22 2012 +0300
Use persistent kernel mapping of the shared page, and update the
vdso_timehands from hardclock, instead of scheduling task.
