I did somewhat better test for this. I added following ASL code:

	...
	Store(Timer, Local1)
	Sleep(10)
	Divide(Subtract(Timer, Local1), 10000,, Local1)
	Sleep(Local1)

	Store(Timer, Local1)
	Sleep(200)
	Divide(Subtract(Timer, Local1), 10000,, Local1)
	Sleep(Local1)

	Store(Timer, Local1)
	Sleep(1300)
	Divide(Subtract(Timer, Local1), 10000,, Local1)
	Sleep(Local1)

The second sleep should be pretty close to the first one.

Without this patch I get:

[   11.488100] ACPI: acpi_os_get_timer() TBD
[   11.492150] ACPI: Sleep(10)
[   11.502993] ACPI: Sleep(0)
[   11.506315] ACPI: Sleep(200)
[   11.706237] ACPI: Sleep(0)
[   11.709550] ACPI: Sleep(1300)
[   13.008929] ACPI: Sleep(0)

With the patch applied I get:

[   11.486786] ACPI: Sleep(10)
[   11.499029] ACPI: Sleep(12)
[   11.512350] ACPI: Sleep(200)
[   11.712282] ACPI: Sleep(200)
[   11.912170] ACPI: Sleep(1300)
[   13.211577] ACPI: Sleep(1300)

The above looks much more correct to me.
