timecounter period from 2^32 ns (~4.3s) to 2^41 ns (~36m39s). Some time
sharing systems can skip clock interrupts for a few seconds when under
load (e.g., if we've recently used more than our fair share of CPU and
someone else wants a burst of CPU) and we were losing time in quanta of
2^32 ns due to timecounter wrapping.
Increasing the timecounter period up to 2^41 ns is definitely overkill,
but we still have microsecond timecounter precision, and anyone using
paravirtualized hardware when they need submicrosecond timing is crazy.
