/* prof_init(): Initialize the profiler's timer

   Starts a timer to count time. libprof automatically selects a TMU and tries
   to use TMU2 before TMU1 before TMU0 so that high-priority interrupts remain
   available, and sets an accurate clock configuration.

   Returns non-zero if no timer is available. */
