Below is the same patch with another kluge, which cuts down the requested sleep by 10% in hopes of getting the actual sleep closer to what's wanted.
This is unusable in anything resembling mainline, but I'd like to see how your various systems react to it. I'm getting very close to the sleeps I asked for (with slight undersleeping, which is a bug).
