Both issues you mention are actually connected - timer-issues in smp context
due to CNTVOFF not being set correctly and CNTFREQ currently not being
initialized.
I'm very hopeful that both should be resolved in the near future and Will
should also be able to tell you more about this :-).
So for the short-term I guess the clock-frequency is needed, but we should be
able to remove it again in the future, once the bootloader is doing the right
thing.
