Did you see the patch from Anton that I posted a week or so ago, which
reduces the number of plpar_hcall_* functions?  I'd rather the
instrumentation stuff was based on that.

My other comment is this: wouldn't it actually turn out simpler if we
read the timebase (and PURR, if we really want to do that too) in the
assembly code that implements plpar_hcall_*?

Paul.
