13 * Standard way to access the cycle counter on i586+ CPUs.
14 * Currently only used on SMP.
15 *
16 * If you really have a SMP machine with i486 chips or older,
17 * compile for that, and this will just always return zero.
18 * That's ok, it just means that the nicer scheduling heuristics
19 * won't work for you.
20 *
21 * We only use the low 32 bits, and we'd simply better make sure
22 * that we reschedule before that wraps. Scheduling at least every
23 * four billion cycles just basically sounds like a good idea,
24 * regardless of how fast the machine is.
