Add a consistent API to a feature that most modern CPUs have; a fast
counter register in-CPU.
This is to be used as a fast "timer", where linearity is more important
than time, and multiple lines in the linearity caused by multiple CPUs
in an SMP machine is not a problem.
This adds no code whatsoever to the FreeBSD kernel until it is actually
used, and then as a single-instruction inline routine (except for the
80386 and 80486 where it is some more inline code around nanotime(9).
