However, PR #78 introduced new time types to be used in kernel and by users. To make things coherent we should make any notion of time used in the kernel match up with those APIs. This requires a number of things:
[ ] replace internal usage of Nanoseconds with type exposed by twizzler-abi
[ ] make TimeSpan feature parity with Duration to be used as a drop in replacement
[ ] type safe conversion between time types (Nanoseconds) and Ticks
In the early days of development the type
Nanosecondswas used to represent the semantic time unit.https://github.com/twizzler-operating-system/twizzler/blob/66b8f2729afcbba0b4ab9b1e6fff2c902e42964b/src/kernel/src/clock.rs#L16-L20
