I'm trying to understand the timecounter code, and in particular the
reason for the "microuptime went backwards" messages which I see on
just about every machine I have, whether running -stable or -current.
This problem is usually attributed to too much interrupt latency.  My
question is, how much latency is "too much"?  Which interrupt has to
be locked out for how long in order to see these messages?
