/** @brief Divisor used to support ms resolution timeouts.
 *
 * Because delays are processed in work queues which are not invoked
 * synchronously with clock changes we need to be able to detect timeouts
 * after they occur, which requires comparing "deadline" to "now" with enough
 * "slop" to handle any observable latency due to "now" advancing past
 * "deadline".
 *
 * The simplest solution is to use the native conversion of the well-defined
 * 32-bit unsigned difference to a 32-bit signed difference, which caps the
 * maximum delay at INT32_MAX.  This is compatible with the standard mechanism
 * for detecting completion of deadlines that do not overflow their
 * representation.
