Whats wrong with the normal stream read?

I don't say you should not do IOCTL as well, but having some kind
of timer device driver which delivers time_since's whenever you ask for
one sounds like it could be useful. It could be called from any 
language which can read from a file , even if in a DOS box
I presume.

Stream output to same device might be used for reset, and possibly to split
time per task. (Actually device-Open should create a new timer for the
thread that opened).
