Hi !
The hardware sync of the timebase on SMP G5s uses a black magic
incantation to the i2c clock chip that was inspired from what Darwin
does. However, this was an earlier version of Darwin that was ...
buggy ! heh. This cause the latest models to break though when starting
SMP, so it's worth fixing. Here's a new version of the incantation based
on careful transcription of the said incantations as found in the latest
version of apple's temple.
