:My only worry here is laptops.
:
:If my laptop is connected to the wall-power when it boots it comes
:up at full CPU speed during the probe and mask determination.
:
:Then I unplug it and the CPU speed drops by a large factor and
:suddenly the mask is too tight for the CPU to get two samples.
:
:I think we need an approach where we loosen the mask at runtime if
:some significant number of iterations fail to get a count may be
:needed:
:
:#define N	25
:
:	static unsigned mask = 0xfffffffe;
:
:	for (;;) {
:		for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
:			c = READ_TIMER & mask;
:			d = READ_TIMER & mask;
:			if (c == d)
:				return(d);
:		}
:		printf("Adjusting mask to %08x\n", mask);
:		mask <<= 1;
:	}

    Ok, try this patch.  It will do fallback but does not do fallforward,
    and performance should be improved for the best case.  I also put
    the mask in a _debug sysctl so you can play with it.  Be careful,
    you can blow up the time counter if you set it to a bad value like 0

    reasonable values: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32, -64.  If you set it too
    strict (i.e. -1) it will auto fallback.
