C void speed_cyclecounter (unsigned int p[2]);
C

C The rpcc instruction returns a 64-bit value split into two 32-bit fields.
C The lower 32 bits are set by the hardware, and the upper 32 bits are set
C by the operating system.  The real per-process cycle count is the sum of
C these halves.

C Unfortunately, some operating systems don't get this right.  NetBSD 1.3 is
C known to sometimes put garbage in the upper half.  Whether newer NetBSD
C versions get it right, is unknown to us.

C rpcc measures cycles elapsed in the user program and hence should be very
C accurate even on a busy system.  Losing cache contents due to task
C switching may have an effect though.
