I can't help you with fixing the microtime code, but if it's any consolation you've correctly identified the cause of the calcru problem. I see this whenever the boot probe picks up an incorrect value for the frequency of my cpu. I've been meaning to write about this, so if anyone is actually interested in the problem, let me know. :) In the short term, you can fix your machines by commenting out the cpu definitions you don't need and recompiling your kernels.
