So if I understand correctly you'd multiply by 10^9 (or better shift by
30) the nanoseconds.

That works, but why not provide 5 output registers?  Alternatively, take
an address as input and write there.

Finally, on x86 we added an argument for the CLOCK_* that is being read
(currently only CLOCK_REALTIME, but having room for extensibility in the
API is always nice).
