This version (relative to the current tree):
o eliminates "while (ticks_elapsed)" loop. It's not needed.
o drop "ticks_elapsed" completely from timer_interrupt().
o Estimates elapsed cycles (based on HZ) to see which kind of
math we want to use to calculate "cycles_remainder".
o Fixes a bug where we would loose a tick if we decided
we wanted to skip one interrupt.
