In the 2.5 timeframe this will be turned into a vsyscall, costing exactly
one
function call. No protection mode change, TLB flush, cache invalidation or
pipeline stall.
Maybe even gethrtime will get the same treatment, I'm not sure.

Not a very significant change in the overall architecture, but it will help
:)
