Sorry for the missing tag text. Let me know if you can use the following
bullets:

 - Make `Instant` generic over clock source. This allows the compiler to
   assert that arithmetic expressions involving the `Instant` use
   `Instants` based on the same clock source.
 - Make `HrTimer` generic over the timer mode. `HrTimer` timers take a
   `Duration` or an `Instant` when setting the expiry time, depending on the
   timer mode. With this change, the compiler can check the type matches the
   timer mode.
 - Add an abstraction for `fsleep`. `fsleep` is a flexible sleep function that
   will select an appropriate sleep method depending on the requested sleep
   time.
 - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating timestamps.
 - Seal the `HrTimerMode` trait. This prevents users of the
   `HrTimerMode` from implementing the trait on their own types.
