    kern_tc.c/cputick2usec() (which is used to calculate cputime from
    cpu ticks) has some imprecision and, worse, huge timestep (about
    20 minutes on 4GHz CPU) near 53.4 days of elapsed time.

    kern_time.c/cputick2timespec() (it is used for clock_gettime() for
    querying process or thread consumed cpu time) Uses cputick2usec()
    and then needlessly converting usec to nsec, obviously losing
    precision even with fixed cputick2usec().

    kern_time.c/kern_clock_getres() uses some weird (anyway wrong)
    formula for getting cputick resolution.
