I do thing that this is useful, though--at GUADEC I talked with some
folks who really want to get at a good clock source, the same from both
the kernel and user-space.
I'd love to see one (but preferably 2 or 3) users of this so that we can
figure out what a good interface would look like...
For ourselves we implemented an clock interface for a limited subset of
architectures that provides a fast timestamp in kernel and userspace.
Basically it has one call to return a 64-bit timestamp, and another call
to tell you how fast the clock is ticking.
If it can, it uses things like the x86 cycle counter or the ppc
timebase. If there is no arch support, it falls back to clock_gettime.
