Description

Make kevent(2) periodic timer events more reliably periodic. The event
callout is now scheduled using the C_ABSOLUTE flag, and the absolute time
of each event is calculated as the time the previous event was scheduled
for plus the interval. This ensures that latency in processing a given
event doesn't perturb the arrival time of any subsequent events.
