Another thing i just tried is this:

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
xen 
# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource 
xen jiffies 
# echo jiffies > 
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

In dmesg:

[57990.836097] Time: jiffies clocksource has been installed.

Do you think this might work? Will it break something else? Is this a good idea?

Thanks!

Oh, actually, the problem you're getting might be related to CPU
frequency changes, try to disable that as well.
