Bug#674907: reassign 674907 to src:linux-2.6, forcibly merging 599161 674907

[Pierre Colombier <pcdwarf@pcdwarf.net>]

can't really know if it's in the hypervisor or the linux kernel's way to
handle the clocksource from the hypervisor.

after some google search, the bug seems to appear in kernel 2.6.20
(don't take this for granted)
If it's really like this, then the bug is probably in the linux kernel.

Anyway the unstable tsc does not seems to be xen specific but more
generally linked with virtualization.
I just found a vmware documentation file that points this as a common
problem.
