Lets not assume we need the overhead of HZ=10000 to get 100us 
alarm/timer resolution.  How about a timer that ticks when we need the 
next tick...

On systems with multiple hardware timers you could kick off a

With the right hardware resource, one high res counter can give you all 
the various tick resolutions you need. BTDT on HPRT.
