    time: Remove xtime_cache · b07514b6
    john stultz authored
    With the prior logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
    always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of
    possibly half a second off.
    
    This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always
    stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up
    removing the xtime_cache related code.
    
    This is a bit simpler, but still could use some wider testing.
