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