Nonono. It' s not the time spent in the bottom_half. It' s the time spent
in the timer interrupt code that runs cli()ed. The first __sti() is in
do_bottom_half() a bit _before_ start running the bottom half handlers.

I am interested of course ;-). Using floating point to calc the mean is
pretty trivial.

There was a suggestion also to hack the timer irq to get:

irq0-time1 = x1 cycles
irq0-time2 = x2 cycles
irq0-time3 = x3 cycles

and then do the math over the xN cycles.
