/*  timer.h
 *
 *  Timing subsystem. Provides deadline timers.
 *  All times are aliased to a second for efficiency.
 *
 *  Timer Guarantees:
 *  - The callback will not be called before the timer expires.
 *  - The callback will be called sometime after the timer expires,
 *    on a best effort basis.
 *  - If timer_poll is called at least once a second, the callback
 *    will be called at most one second after it expires.
