Please revert. I use this for setting timecounters from userland. The

secondary, and is readonly anyway, so it cannot be used to manage the
TSC frequency or even the timecounter frequency.
Some people have asked me if I can make kern.timecounter.tc.*.frequency
writeable. I have it on my list of jobs to look at, but haven't had
a chance yet. Are there any obvious problems with this?
No new ones. Just the old ones of updating the frequency and all related
variables without races.
