I think the accepted and standard way to do this is to use different
"clock"s. For example, in the HRT patch the clocks CLOCK_REALTIME_HR and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_HR are defined as high resolution clocks.
Note precision here can be fairly long - some timers dont even
if they run a minute earlier or later or even longer. For others
it can be rather small.
I dont think you want own clocks for all possible numbers. It makes
much more sense to give a numerical time offset.
That may be, but you will have a hard time finding a standard confroming way to
pass that info into the kernel. A few well chosen points should do it...
