Come on.  You're the one coming up with idiotic reasoning for the user 
space visible bogomips number.  Give me at least one logical and 
rational reason why user space should get a timer clock value 
inconsequential to user space code through this interface and I'll shut 
up.  Otherwise I'll interpret your heating up as your inability to 
provide such a reason.
