The delta (clock - prev_clock_raw) looks insane.

The current time (which doesn't depend on rq_clock() --> sched_clock() is
" now at 257428593818894 nsecs " (right at the beginning of the output).

'prev_clock_raw' is updated any time rq_clock() is called - basically
upon any scheduling operation (e.g. enqueue/dequeue)

now - prev_clock_raw == 257428593818894 - 257428516403535 == ~ 80 ms.

while 'clock' reports something crazy.. that would explain why there
wes a huge "block_max" reported earlier.. I guess, sched_clock() is
tsc-based in your case?

Any way to get it switched to jiffies-based one and repeat the test?
