We report "frequencies" (actual-frequency, requested-frequency) as the
number of accumulated cycles so that the average frequency over that
period may be determined by the user. This means the units we report to
the user are Mcycles (or just M), not MHz.

MHz was wrong yes. But is 'M' established or would 'Mcycles' be better?
The only place where "cycles" pops up is in the perf ui, the other
events that I thought were similar in nature are unitless. As the
'cycle' itself is not an SI base unit as it is a mere count.
~o~ I have no idea ~o~
But if the argument if that 'cycle' is not SI then neither is 'M'. So I
think I would prefer 'Mcycles'. Nevertheless, I guess a strange 'M' is
better than wrong 'MHz'.
