Yes, on the other hand we only recently switched from select() to poll().
I guess using ms resolution wouldn't be too bad for non-Linux. After
all before dynticks support was added to the alarm timer, it used to use
/dev/rtc or /dev/hpet -- which is very precise but only has ms
resolution too.
We might not care about the slack either, in practice. TCG timing sucks
anyway, and for KVM/Xen most relevant device models are in the kernel.
