There's both cycles_t and cycle_t. We should unify the two and it should be 64-bit. The faster systems get, the sooner the 32-bit counter overflows. 64-bit systems are keeping 32-bit compatibility for quite some time to come. So with an 8GHz CPU the 32-bit cycle_t would wrap in like 500 msecs, way too fast to rely on ... (even with a 4GHz CPUs it's only one second.) i've made cycle_t u64 and have uploaded -rt14.
