Tomas Hruby 451a6890d6 scheduling - time quantum in miliseconds
- Currently the cpu time quantum is timer-ticks based. Thus the
  remaining quantum is decreased only if the processes is interrupted
  by a timer tick. As processes block a lot this typically does not
  happen for normal user processes. Also the quantum depends on the
  frequency of the timer.

- This change makes the quantum miliseconds based. Internally the
  miliseconds are translated into cpu cycles. Everytime userspace
  execution is interrupted by kernel the cycles just consumed by the
  current process are deducted from the remaining quantum.

- It makes the quantum system timer frequency independent.

- The boot processes quantum is loosely derived from the tick-based
  quantas and 60Hz timer and subject to future change

- the 64bit arithmetics is a little ugly, will be changes once we have
  compiler support for 64bit integers (soon)

/* This file contains the clock task, which handles time related functions.
* Important events that are handled by the CLOCK include setting and
* monitoring alarm timers and deciding when to (re)schedule processes.
* The CLOCK offers a direct interface to kernel processes. System services
* can access its services through system calls, such as sys_setalarm(). The
* CLOCK task thus is hidden from the outside world.
*
* Changes:
* Aug 18, 2006 removed direct hardware access etc, MinixPPC (Ingmar Alting)
* Oct 08, 2005 reordering and comment editing (A. S. Woodhull)
* Mar 18, 2004 clock interface moved to SYSTEM task (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Sep 30, 2004 source code documentation updated (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Sep 24, 2004 redesigned alarm timers (Jorrit N. Herder)
*
* Clock task is notified by the clock's interrupt handler when a timer
* has expired.
*
* In addition to the main clock_task() entry point, which starts the main
* loop, there are several other minor entry points:
* clock_stop: called just before MINIX shutdown
* get_uptime: get realtime since boot in clock ticks
* set_timer: set a watchdog timer (+)
* reset_timer: reset a watchdog timer (+)
* read_clock: read the counter of channel 0 of the 8253A timer
*
* (+) The CLOCK task keeps tracks of watchdog timers for the entire kernel.
* It is crucial that watchdog functions not block, or the CLOCK task may
* be blocked. Do not send() a message when the receiver is not expecting it.
* Instead, notify(), which always returns, should be used.
