Well, the main issue here is that we want to be able to prepare_enable
the slow clock before we are allowed to sleep.

Thinking about it when writing that, I realize that when I reworked my
series, I removed the dependency between the clocksource TCB and the
slow_clock. But I guess we still have one on the main clock. I'll check
whether this is still necessary.
