Where is get_cycles64() ?

This is in asm/timex.h. Should this be split into a separate asm header
ala arm64?

No, it is fine but may be it is get_cycles(), no get_cycles64(), right?


get_cycles() returns a 32 or 64-bit value depending on machine register width, using one assembly instruction to retrieve it.

get_cycles64() always returns a 64-bit value at the expense of a few more instructions on 32-bit systems.
