That means the kernel discipline is working. It used to say "kernel
status change" whenever ntp_adjtime() returned an error. Dave Mills
changed that to say "kernel time sync disabled" plus the status code.
The last one, "kernel time sync enabled", was added at my request,
because reporting only "disabled" made it look like the kernel
discipline was broken, when it wasn't.

You shouldn't see any more than the three messages, unless you use
"ntpdc" to manually "disable kernel" or "enable kernel".
