Same as #2 above just extended to clock > MONOTONIC. Which means the timestamps in the structure we get from msg* calls can be 1 second smaller that timestamps returned from realtime timers. However it also means that the _COARSE timers should be the same as the SysV timestamps and could be used for these tests instead. Also these timers should be available since 2.6.32 which is old enough to assume that they are present.
