 * system-specific, but this interface is (one hopes) implementable
 * on top of all of them.
 *
 * To use this API, create a PerfMeasurement object, passing its
 * constructor a bitmask indicating which events you are interested
 * in.  Thereafter, Start() zeroes all counters and starts timing;
 * Stop() stops timing again; and the counters for the events you
 * requested are available as data values after calling Stop().  The
