This code describes the pvrdtscp algorithm and the new
ABI between Xen and applications.
Keir, I'm no sure where to put this... though it is a
C program, it is essentially documentation. So, I've
just attached as a file, not as a patch.

/* pvrdtscp algorithm
*
* This sample code demonstrates the use of the paravirtualized rdtscp
* algorithm. Using this algorithm, an application may communicate with
* the Xen hypervisor (version 4.0+) to obtain timestamp information which
* is both monotonically increasing and has a fixed 1 GHz rate, even across
* migrations between machines with different TSC rates and offsets.
* Further,the algorithm provides performance near the performance of a
* native rdtsc/rdtscp instruction -- much faster than emulation PROVIDED
* the application is running on a machine on which the rdtscp instruction
* is supported and TSC is "safe". The application must also be running in a
* PV domain. (HVM domains may be supported at a later time.) On machines
* where TSC is unsafe or the rdtscp instruction is not supported, Xen
* (v4.0+) provides emulation which is slower but consistent with the pvrdtscp
* algorithm, thus providing support for the algorithm for live migration
* across all machines.
*
* More information can be found within the Xen (4.0+) source tree at
* docs/misc/tscmode.txt
