this one should be doable, the speed of the timer interrupts isnt very
critical. You'll probably have to look at the interrupted EIP, and check
wether it's _not_ the 'hlt' instruction (only if we are in the idle task).
Then (and only then) add this tick to system time.

do we really want to have 2 cycles off from this _very_ heavily used code
path? [== 2% slower getpid()]
