 /* There are no generic definitions for the times.  We could write something
    using the `gettimeofday' system call where available but the overhead of
-   the system call might be too high.
-
-   In case a platform supports timers in the hardware the following macros
-   and types must be defined:
-
-   - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.
-
-   - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
-     implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
-     which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions.  We have to
-     know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
-     cannot make function calls.
-
-   - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
-     values.
-
-   - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
-     parameter.
-
-   - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
-     in a third.  Source and destination might overlap.
-
-   - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: add time difference to another variable, without
-     being thread-safe.
-
-   - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
-     the given string.  This operation need not be inline even though
-     HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
