The more I think about it, the more I have a little voice saying "suspend
to disk, suspend to disk".
I don't know how suspend to disk works, but I suspect it may be turning
off the whole CPU, and in that case the cycle counter will certainly be a
goner when we resume, unless some CPU engineer has come up with something
really revolutionary.
So I guess the #ifdef _will_ be needed, but I'd like to get confirmation
that this isn't just the cyrix problem after all..
