// UnscaledCycleClock
//    An UnscaledCycleClock yields the value and frequency of a cycle counter
//    that increments at a rate that is approximately constant.
//    This class is for internal use only, you should consider using CycleClock
//    instead.
//
// Notes:
// The cycle counter frequency is not necessarily the core clock frequency.
// That is, CycleCounter cycles are not necessarily "CPU cycles".
//
// An arbitrary offset may have been added to the counter at power on.
//
// On some platforms, the rate and offset of the counter may differ
// slightly when read from different CPUs of a multiprocessor.  Usually,
// we try to ensure that the operating system adjusts values periodically
// so that values agree approximately.   If you need stronger guarantees,
// consider using alternate interfaces.
//
// The CPU is not required to maintain the ordering of a cycle counter read
// with respect to surrounding instructions.
