And both should be replaced by hztous()/ustohz().

Microseconds allow a time value of ~35 minutes as 32bit signed
integer, which should be a safe range for delays.

A higher resolution might have its use too, but then you have
to assure that such values are always carried in 64bit integers
or handled by a structure. There is already a hz2bintime()
macro in that realm, which is unsafe (truncates to milliseconds)
but AFAIK also unused.
