Make the previous behaviour the default, add a sysctl which you

Browse Source 
can set if your hw/sw produces the "calcru negative..." message.

Setting the alternate method (sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1)
makes the the get{nano|micro}*() functions call the real thing at
resulting in a measurable but minor overhead.

I decided to NOT have the "calcru" change the method automatically
because you should be aware of this problem if you have it.

The problems currently seen, related to usleep and a few other corners
are fixed for both methods.
