For some architectures, yes.  As John Stultz pointed out, on many of
the older embedded platforms (which are many of the ones with out a
get_cycles function), the only clocksource they have is the jiffies
time source anyway.  So I'd much rather take each architecture one at
a time, and fix them right.
