Kernel support for PPS and for in-kernel PLL utilizing one PPS input are two 
different things, at least in the Linux kernel.  You are unlikely to have the 
in-kernel PLL support compiled in unless you are on older / exotic hardware or 
have compiled your own kernel with the requisite configuration changes.  The 
in-kernel PLL is not compatible with the tickless scheduler model that most 
modern platforms use to enable energy-efficient operation.

When you try toi switch the kernel PLL on in the NTP configuration you should 
see an error reported in the logs when ntpd starts.
