Subject: [PATCH/RFC 2/2] m68k/amiga: Provide mach_get_cycles()

Use the 24-bit Time-Of-Day clock in CIA B, which is clocked by HSYNC.

  1. Completely untested! It does compile ;-)

  2. Is a 24-bit counter running at 15-31 kHz good enough?
     Two cascaded 16-bit CIA timers running from the 700 kHz E-clock would
     be better, but as jiffies use CIA B Timer A and the floppy driver uses
     CIA A Timer B, we don't have two available timers in the same CIA
     without some code shuffling.

  3. What are the semantics of get_cycles()?
     Does it have to be a "nice" counter, or can there be some
     irregularities?
     I.e. can I add one more line
     
	x = (x << 8) | ciab.talo;	// low byte of 700 kHz timer
	
     to get 32 bits?
