Hmm... maybe; but I found the following dmesg from a Mac Mini:
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2006/10/27/0013.html>

and it doesn't appear to have the problem (apic clock is correctly
detected to run at 166 MHz, CPU frequencies are fine, etc.).

OTOH since all of these Macs use ICH7, it should no no harm to disable this bit.

So this may be indeed the best solution.
