* 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
