eems to be in vDSO code in
arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S.
(possibly because some values used in the calculation are only 32 bit?)
Slightly silly workaround:
nuke the "cmpwi cr1,r3,CLOCK_MONOTONIC" in __kernel_clock_gettime
Now it always goes through the syscall fallback which does not have the same
problem.
