We can't use this stuff on Alpha, it's cycle counter overflows after
just 10 minutes. It works very strangely, something like only the
lower 32-bits are guarenteed to be continually incrementing.
I'm going to apply your patch and delete the Alpha parts.
Meanwhile, ping Richard Henderson (rth@redhat.com) or one
of the other Alpha experts for me to get confirmation on
this stuff.
Thanks.
