on a reasonably new CPU you ought to be able to set the 64-bit value -
but that doesnt change the fundamental fact: we have no idea how much
time has passed while we were in HLT. Especially with things like
dyntick/noidle we could spend _alot_ of time in HLT, and the TSC could
drift significantly. How do we know how much that is?
