This was exactly the part I wasn't sure about.  I _think_ this should be
done (or similar logic) as part of timecounters -- i.e. each processor
needs to have some kind of synchronization -- probably implementing the
tc_pps method for timecounters.  I'm not an alpha expert though, so I'm
not 100% sure.
