Every ~4 seconds a 32-bit cycle counter running 1Ghz will wrap.
If it wraps twice between any two interrupts, I think we are already screwed.
There is no way to detect that with a 32-bit kernel.  My hope is the same
bug is visible on 64-bit kernel where we have 30 billion or so seconds
before the counter will wrap.

I'll give it a go as well.
