linus nixed it at the 2.5 stage. the POSIX API was added to the
kernel, but not the APIC-based high-res implementation. he just didn't
like the way it messed with the "tick".
jesse chappell has played with a previous version of the patch and has
had problems with X stalling for seconds (?) when in use. the
resolution also didn't seem anywhere close to what was claimed.
