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