I can confirm that both the ACPI and piixpm counters work for me (and
pretty clearly seem to be the same underlying counter with identical
frequency, on my laptop at least).

I'm also assuming that of the two accessors, piixpm might be
preferable for lower overhead because it wouldn't involve calls via
ACPI and AML?  Or does it all wind up a wash because ACPI is just used
to find the same register address at initialisation?
