10 * 10 MHz = 100 MHz CPU Clock.

100 MHz CPU clock / 2 (see EBDF bits in SCCR) = 50 MHz bus clock

Try changing the multiplicator factor to 8, so you get 80 MHz  CPU  /
40 MHz bus clocks.

The kkernel does not deal with this at all. It  receives  information
about the system clocks from the boot loader.

This is done in the boot loader.
