Looking back at my original patch (using sourceforge cvs browse)
The patch for the 440 GX did not change that portion of code, so the 
ebony should also exhibit this behavior.  I recently rx'ed a message 
from one of my users that the timer was returning ~10x of what was 
expected.  That should have been a clue to me...

I'll give the above fix a whirl on my custom board and report back.
