        src/sys/arch/usermode/dev: clock.c cpu.c
        src/sys/arch/usermode/include: thunk.h

Log Message:
Improve usermode timecounter. It's unreasonable to assume that we'll get
100 "SIGALRM" per second with an ITIMER_REAL at 100Hz on a HZ=100 host as
the timer may expire before a pending signal has been delivered.

Instead of setitimer, use timer_create + timer_settime and from our
intr handler use timer_getoverrun to determine how many ticks we have
missed.
