Super-Callifragilistic-Expealido-phat-cious!!

finally, we can do real MIDI sequencing with Linux:

      while (1) {
	 ...
	 usleep (usecs_till_next_event);
	 /* we're know its the right time,
	    instead of being rounded to
	    the default HZ
	  */
         deliver_events ();
      }

actually, i think you need a different sleep()-alike to do this, but
the point remains the same.

i just hope that this change reflects the whole enchilada
(reprogramming the APIC) rather than just the POSIX clock API. is
there any sign of this?
