/**
 * The C reference implementation of the assembly routines.
 *
 * Calculate NanoTS using the information in the global information page (GIP)
 * which the support library (SUPLib) exports.
 *
 * This function guarantees that the returned timestamp is later (in time) than
 * any previous calls in the same thread.
 *
 * @remark  The way the ever increasing time guarantee is currently implemented means
 *          that if you call this function at a frequency higher than 1GHz you're in for
 *          trouble. We currently assume that no idiot will do that for real life purposes.
 *
 * @returns Nanosecond timestamp.
 * @param   pData       Pointer to the data structure.
