--- Comment #2 from Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com> ---
The tsc-calibration fix was temporarily taken back last Friday because we f=
ound
an interesting thing: with some kind of config, Xen can pretend to be Hyper=
-V
by mimicking the hypervisor CPUID signature (this is usually to make Window=
s VM
run better on Xen), but Xen doesn=E2=80=99t support Hyper-V timecounter, so=
 the fix
causes an unexpected panic when FreeBSD VM runs on Xen in this case.

We're making another patch to better detect if the underlying hypervisor
supports Hyper-V timecounter or not:
