rather than inventing our own set of terms, how about piggybacking what Linux 
has already done ?  they have "cycle counters" and "timer counters" (which 
bubble up into "clock sources", but i dont think we need those).

further, Linux probably already has implementations we can steal for the arch-
specific "cycle counters", and the common code which takes care of scaling 
those into actual measurements of time.
