Speaking of time and accuracy....

I am adding some logic to synchronize with the PPS signal from
the GPS device that I hooked up to a RaspberryPi.  With this
change the TOD clock should be accurate to within 10 to 20 µs.
So I for one welcome the new syscall! [Though its introduction
could've been better managed]

But using a TOD clock for measuring performance seems wrong
since it will also have to account for leapseconds (at the
moment timesync happily ignores leapseconds).
