It seems to be used only to compute time differences
in microsec and for stamping debugging traces, so I
can't see where there would be any ill effects.
Doing the latter could simplify the routines in
ftape-calibr.c, put paid to the possible jiffy-
crossing bugs, and take advantage of the careful
coding and bugfixes in arch/i386/kernel/time.c,
so it looks like a win all around to me.
Apologies for not submitting a patch suggestion, but
without a floppy tape myself, I have no way to test it.
