I just copied stop_cpus().  rdtsc() and microtime() can't be used
there, and neither can DELAY() if we call stop_cpus() from ddb (which
we do), since some versions of DELAY() use locks and ddb can't use any
public locks since it weould deadlock if it was trapped to from code
that holds a lock that ddb wants to use.
