* A simple loop like

* will not do. As we don't really know whether jiffy switch
* happened first or timer_value was read first. And some asynchronous
* event can happen between these two events introducing errors in lpj.

* So, we do
* 1. pre_start <- When we are sure that jiffy switch hasn't happened

* 3. start <- timer value before or after jiffy switch
* 4. post_start <- When we are sure that jiffy switch has happened
