It's kinda implicit, but I'd rather justify the change through how the HW timer
within some NVIDIA GPUs works.
There's also other HW that works similarly (e.g. a bunch of net devices), which
share a common abstraction through struct cyclecounter / struct timecounter.
Having similar Rust infrastructure seems reasonable for use-cases as the nova
one.
