The "help -k" prints internal variables for debugging and it's merely
uninitialized, so personally I don't think this is a bug, but I agree that
the current behavior is not friendly and initializing it during startup
will be helpful.

Hmm, initializing the boot_date in task_init() looks a bit strange to me,
but possibly the HZ can be set in machdep_init(POST_GDB), so it's fine..

Could you please remove this Fixes: tag?
Without this,
