So Thomas optimized the tk_read_bases to fit in a cacheline, and so I
worry about the u8 being added there. I'm also cautious about
exporting these seq values out further via the system_time_snapshot.
But I may just need some more time to warm up to the idea.

So can you split out this adding of ktime_get_snapshot() (maybe
skipping the seqcount bits initially) into a separate patch?

I've not done a super close reading here. But is it very likely the
the history_ref->cs_seq is the same as the captured seq? I thought
this history_ref was to allow old cross stamps to be used to improve
the back-calculation of the time at the given cycle value. So throwing
them out if they are older then the last tick seems strange.
