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.

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.
