:My only worry here is laptops.

:If my laptop is connected to the wall-power when it boots it comes
:up at full CPU speed during the probe and mask determination.
:
:Then I unplug it and the CPU speed drops by a large factor and
:suddenly the mask is too tight for the CPU to get two samples.
:
:I think we need an approach where we loosen the mask at runtime if
:some significant number of iterations fail to get a count may be
:needed:
:
:#define N 25
:
: static unsigned mask = 0xfffffffe;
:
: for (;;) {
: for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
: c = READ_TIMER & mask;
: d = READ_TIMER & mask;
: if (c == d)
: return(d);
: }
: printf("Adjusting mask to %08x\n", mask);
: mask <<= 1;
: }

Ugh. Oh well. So much for the code being simple. I'll incorporate
a similar change which adjusts the mask dynamically in both directions.
