Hi,

I have been experimenting with frequency scaling on a 4 core (2
sockets) AMD Opteron processors. The versions of Xen I have tested
with include xen-testing as well as xen-unstable (cs 17042). For both
these versions, I am using the linux 2.6.18-8 tree and have passed
cpufreq=dom0-kernel to the xen command line.

However, I get plenty of "Time went backwards" whenever I attempt to
change frequency. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

% grep name /proc/cpuinfo | head -1
model name      : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2216 HE
