The get_monotonic_cycles needs to produce a monotonic counter as output.
This patch adds a cycle_raw to produce an accumulative counter.
Unfortunately there is already an cycle_accumulate variable, but that is
used to avoid clock source overflow and can also be decremented
(probably that name should be changed and we should use that for this
patch).
