Ah, yes.  A SMP box needs ALTQ_NOPCC (means don't use processor cycle
counter) in the kernel config.  In that case, the token bucket
regulator falls back to microtime().  

This should be addressed in the document.  Thanks for the reminder.

By the way, I've already committed the changes last night so that the
new code will be in the next KAME snap.
