The hardware sync of the timebase on SMP G5s uses a black magic
incantation to the i2c clock chip that was inspired from what Darwin
does.
However, this was an earlier version of Darwin that was ... buggy !
heh. This causes the latest models to break though when starting SMP,
so it's worth fixing.
Here's a new version of the incantation based on careful transcription
of the said incantations as found in the latest version of apple's
temple.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
