Problem fixed [1].  Now it passes the whole testsuite, including
tst-timer5 which was disabled before! \o/

Here's my latest patch.  So far only tested with kfreebsd 9.0-1 on
i386.  I will test older kernels and port it to amd64.  In the
meantime, would someone be so kind to check if the testsuite problems
in ruby, python, etc got better?

[1] Grmf, turns out GCC was optimizing my busy wait loop into an
infinite loop. Thankfully this taught me to ditch some of my broken
cache coherency assumptions...
