28C The rpcc instruction returns a 64-bit value split into two 32-bit fields.
29C The lower 32 bits are set by the hardware, and the upper 32 bits are set
30C by the operating system.  The real per-process cycle count is the sum of
31C these halves.
32
33C Unfortunately, some operating systems don't get this right.  NetBSD 1.3 is
34C known to sometimes put garbage in the upper half.  Whether newer NetBSD
35C versions get it right, is unknown to us.
36
37C rpcc measures cycles elapsed in the user program and hence should be very
38C accurate even on a busy system.  Losing cache contents due to task
39C switching may have an effect though.
