Yes, that would do it.  If that is really the case, then simply adjusting
stathz for the rawhide would fix that easily.

Gimme an hour or so. :)  I think I'm going to redo the alpha clock stuff
slightly so that platforms will actually set a platform.clockintr() for real
that handles both hardclock and statclock.  The default will do what the old
function I modified for SMP does, and on teh 4100 we'll use the current
handler, on teh 2100 we will use one that uses forward_*clock since the clock
is roundrobin, etc.
