Huh.  So for counter_to_realtime64 & mono64, this seems to ignore the
fact that the multiplier is constantly adjusted and corrected. So that
calling the function twice with the same counter value may result in
different returned values.

I've not yet groked the whole patchset, but it seems like there needs
to be some mechanism that ensures the counter value is captured and
used in the same (or at least close) interval that the timekeeper data
is valid for.
