What is all this?  We already check for the sal drifting thing where it
counts (in clock_getcpuclockid).  In no other place is it necessary
since if the itc is used in these places it is absolutely not critical.
 It's only informational informatin and if somebody runs it on a machine
where itc is not reliable, it's that person's problem.
