Ah, indeed timer_create() seem to only create CPUCLOCK_SCHED timers. So that
issue with timer_gettime becoming asynchonous with clock_gettime can't happen
with PROF and VIRT clocks

I see itimers can use those clocks. But there don't seem to be a
similar issue with
getitimer/setitimer as they don't have matching clock reads.

Thanks.
