Following hunk is a regression for me:
-  return (tv.tv_sec * GRUB_TICKS_PER_SECOND
-         + (((tv.tv_sec % GRUB_TICKS_PER_SECOND) * 1000000 + tv.tv_usec)
-            * GRUB_TICKS_PER_SECOND / 1000000));
+  GRUB_COMPILE_TIME_ASSERT (GRUB_TICKS_PER_SECOND == 1000000);
+  return (tv.tv_sec * 1000000 + tv.tv_usec);
Having virtual clock going at any rate is an advantage for debugging.
Other than this I'm ok with this patch and you can merge it into
experimental
