the rnd driver also uses the clock cycle counter and has macros for
accessing it.  Can we have only one set please?

How about putting the inlines to access them in <arch/cpu.h> and
having a #define in <arch/types.h> indicating their presence?

__HAVE_CPU_COUNTER

u_int32_t cpu_counter32(void);  /* only read the low 32bits */
u_int32_t cpu_counter(void);    /* return the full significant value */
