Because your system claims ACPI support.
Your attitude is unproductive; a) the acpi(4) manpage tells you how to
turn off the ACPI timecounter, and b) once I get some time to work on it,
the timecounter will probably be fixed to deal (one way or another) with
your board.
I am assuming you're using an ALi chipset of some sort? Your bugreport
dosn't seem to indicate that. If all you're having trouble with is the
timecounter, turn it off.
