✘--disable-kernel-pll

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo All!

I just ran a 6 hour test of --disable-kernel-pll.  See attached.

The left side before 18:45 is yesterday's ntpd.  After that
time is today's ntpd with --disable-kernel-pll.  Nothing else
changed.

As the png shows, the frequency jitter declined, but the offset
jitter increased.  Since ntpd cares more about time than frequency,
not a good trade off.

The knerel PLL and the ntpd userspace PLL are supposed to be using the
same algorithm and constants.  Might be worth checking if the constants
are still the same.

I'll have 24 hour data Thursday night.

Confounding the case is another RasPi that only changed the ntpd to
today's code.  It also shows increased time offset jitter, but not of
the same magnitude as the userspace PLL test.  It also shows increased
frequency offset jitter, unlike the userpsace PLL test.  So a bit hard
to tease apart the two worsening results.
