Yup, after a reboot, my Mac says it's 7:45pm, this box thinks it's
7:26pm. :(

Trying piixpm0 as I see that in dmesg output:

$ dmesg | grep piixpm0
piixpm0 at pci0 dev 1 function 3: vendor 0x8086 product 0x7113 (rev.
0x03)
timecounter: Timecounter "piixpm0" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000
piixpm0: 24-bit timer
piixpm0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 9
iic0 at piixpm0: I2C bus
