Imprecision of the Linux jiffy-based timer. In fact this probably 
doesn't matter.
Fairly coarse-grained shaping in which we specify credit periods of 
100s of
milliseconds would be adequate for most people's needs.

It can probably be got working in the kernel again quite easily. 
Plumbing the new
