/* Find the resolution of the system clock by watching how the current time
 * changes as we read it repeatedly.
 *
 * struct timeval is only good to 1us, which may cause problems as machines
 * get faster, but until then the logic goes:
 *
 * If a machine has resolution (i.e. accurate timing info) > 1us, then it will
 * probably use the "unused" low order bits as a counter (to force time to be
 * a strictly increaing variable), incrementing it each time any process
 * requests the time [[ or maybe time will stand still ? ]].
 *
 * SO: the logic goes:
 *
 *      IF      the difference from the last time is "small" (< MINSTEP)
 *      THEN    this machine is "counting" with the low order bits
 *      ELIF    this is not the first time round the loop
 *      THEN    this machine *WAS* counting, and has now stepped
 *      ELSE    this machine has resolution < time to read clock
 *
 * SO: if it exits on the first loop, assume "full accuracy" (1us)
 *     otherwise, take the log2(observered difference, rounded UP)
 *
 * MINLOOPS > 1 ensures that even if there is a STEP between the initial call
 * and the first loop, it doesn't stop too early.
 * Making it even greater allows MINSTEP to be reduced, assuming that the
 * chance of MINSTEP-1 other processes getting in and calling gettimeofday
 * between this processes's calls.
 * Reducing MINSTEP may be necessary as this sets an upper bound for the time
 * to actually call gettimeofday.

/*
 * This routine calculates the differences between successive calls to
 * gettimeofday(). If a difference is less than zero, the us field
 * has rolled over to the next second, so we add a second in us. If
 * the difference is greater than zero and less than MINSTEP, the
 * clock has been advanced by a small amount to avoid standing still.
 * If the clock has advanced by a greater amount, then a timer interrupt
 * has occurred and this amount represents the precision of the clock.
 * In order to guard against spurious values, which could occur if we
 * happen to hit a fat interrupt, we do this for MINLOOPS times and
 * keep the minimum value obtained.
