You can't justify adjusting the HW clock and the vclocks
asynchronously with a single, isolated example.

If two independent processes are both adjusting a clock concurrently,
asynchronously, and at different control rates, the result will be
chaos.

It does not matter that it *might* work for some random setup of
yours.

The kernel has to function correctly in general, not just in some
special circumstances.

Thanks,
