You should provide a patch. ;)


On a more serious note: does it make sense to rely on the cpu frequency
to relate it to cycles? Especially on ARM, where get_cycles() is just a
wrapper around gettimeofday().

My gut feeling is that we should rely on a proper monotonic clock
instead and drop this /proc/cpuinfo parser altogether.
