To see the bug with chronyd the initial offset shouldn't be very close
to zero, so it's forced to correct the offset by adjusting the
frequency in a larger step.

I'm attaching a simple C program that prints the frequency offset
as measured between the REALTIME and MONOTONIC_RAW clocks when the
adjtimex tick is set to 9000. It should show values close to -100000
ppm and I suspect on the BBB it will be much smaller.
