svn commit: r244287 - projects/calloutng/sys/x86/isa

New Revision: 244287
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/244287

Log:
  Mostly out of fun, teach i8254 eventtimer driver to program only LSB for
  very short time intervals (<214us).  This allows to get less then 22us
  usleep(1) time from this anscient timer.  It is even better then HPET time
  now, just with much higher CPU usage.
