   NAME
        GetSysTime -- Get the system time. (V36)

   SYNOPSIS
        GetSysTime( Dest )
                    A0

        void GetSysTime( struct timeval * );

   FUNCTION
        Ask the system what time it is.  The system time starts off at
        zero at power on, but may be initialized via the tr_setsystime
        timer.device command.

        System time is monotonocally increasing and guarenteed to be
        unique (except when the system time is set back).

        A0 will be left unchanged.

        This function is less expensive to use than the tr_getsystime
        iorequest.

   INPUTS
        Dest -- pointer to a timeval structure to hold the system time.

   RESULTS
        Dest -- the timeval structure will contain the system time.

   NOTES
        This function may be called from interrupts.
