	We have the exact same problem here, seems when ntpd is
	in sync it try to update the hardware clock and that
	operation make the interrupt controler freeze for 
	mega-milli-secondsssssss, then ntpd become out of sync.

	We fixed the problem by using 'chronyd', using NTP protocol
	but not updating hardware clock (hard syncing only at shutdown),
	work like a charm...

	Hope this help....
