Hi Sebastian

Ok, i have to admit i am a little late to the party.

With the trivial compile patch below it is working on ARM:
Specifically two Cortex A9 on a CycloneV from Altera.

The performance without load looks good:
# Total: 100000000 100000000
# Min Latencies: 00009 00009
# Avg Latencies: 00010 00010
# Max Latencies: 00022 00033

A short run with hackbench load reveals an latency "island" from 54-69µs on the first core.
There are no timer ticks with 34 to 53 µs delay.
# Total: 001000000 000999714
# Min Latencies: 00010 00009
# Avg Latencies: 00017 00010
# Max Latencies: 00069 00029

I will test further and report if i find strange occurences.

Sorry no photos, no special blinking.
