I have no HW platforms with pistachio, just read the code and run the
following test code in x86_64 and x86_32:

#include <stdio.h>
unsigned long long pistachio_clocksource_read_cycles()
{
unsigned int counter = 0xf000000;
return ~(unsigned long long)counter;
}
int main()
{
printf("%llx\n", pistachio_clocksource_read_cycles());
return 0;
}

Thanks,
Jisheng
