Ok, I've looked at the code more carefully and I understand how this
works now. However, it is not enough in an SMP environment. You
need a generation count in the timecounter structure and you also need
a synchronization point when you switch time counters or a process
running on a different cpu may wind up using a time counter that is being
actively updated.
I'm experimenting with your patch now. I'll send email when I have
some test results.
