i'd be concerned if the intrinsics are right and our own versions are
wrong.  hopefully that won't be the case after this gets sorted out.


given that n = 1000000 and rdtsc alone takes O(30) ticks, you're
probably getting interference from the timer IRQ, even on Akaros Core 0.
here's two quick things to try:

call uthread_mcp_init() somewhere in main.  that'll make you an MCP.
it's a bit hacky.  verify that it's working with a ps or pip.

check your tsc overhead against __procinfo.timing_overhead or against
the console output during boot, e.g.

        TSC overhead (Min: 32, Max: 36)

i didn't look at any of the actual FPU stuff for issues yet.
