This info is obtained from Xen via the shared_info struct, so
I'd bet the shared_info struct is getting trashed.
Or, for awhile, Jeremy had some code that made it possible
for pvclock to use multiple shared_info structs to detect
TSC skew. I think that got pulled for 4.0, but not sure
I remember why (or the symptoms)... and I'm not sure what
Xen bits you are testing with.
