Is there any means to get to the pentiums extended register set?

Specifically, I understand there's a register which counts
clock cycles since reset....

Most of the registers have to read in CPL0 -- so I assume its
relatively simple to add ioctl's to some type of module...
or add them to /proc...

I just looked in /proc -- is there a spec for
/proc/sys/vm/{freepages,kwapd,swapctl}

: leisner@pb;cd /proc//sys

: leisner@pb;ls kernel/
domainname file-nr inode-max osrelease securelevel
file-max hostname inode-nr ostype version
: leisner@pb;
