Right ! Disabling START/STOP_TIMER fix the segfault on AMD64.
I investigated a bit further and it seems that the "=A" constraint don't
work properly on AMD64. Maybe rdtsc modify the full rax/rdx and "=A" only
backup/restore eax/edx or something like that ?
So I've written an AMD64 specific rdtsc() implementation. I know it's not
very nice but I can't come with a cleaner solution.
Should I apply it ?
