Does this still happen?
Can you either:
1. share the output of `vmstat -e | grep -e tsc -e systime -e
hardclock' after you get the console warning;
2. run
dtrace -n 'sdt:xen:clock: { printf("%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7) }'
on the system, and leave it running with output directed to a file,
and share the output when you see the console warning; or
3. put `#define XEN_CLOCK_DEBUG 1' in sys/arch/xen/xen/xen_clock.c and
build a new kernel, and share the dmesg output when you get the
console warning?
This should tell us whether it's the Xen host's fault or something
wrong in NetBSD.
