Log Message:
Let rnd(4) know how to read the (pentium and higher) cycle counter:

If __HAVE_CPU_TIMESTAMP is defined, <machine/rnd.h> exists and defines
two functions:
  1) 	u_int32_t cpu_timestamp(void);
returns the 32 low order bits of a reasonably high frequency counter.
  2)	int cpu_havetimestamp(void);
returns non-zero if cpu_timestamp() actually works.

The timestamp counter should run at a frequency greater than 1 MHz
(otherwise, microtime would be sufficient); other than that, the exact
frequency and origin of the counter are unspecified.
