In the old days callout(9) had 1 tick precision and that was inadequate
for some uses, e.g. DTrace profile module, so we had to emulate cyclic
API and behavior. Now we can directly use callout(9) in the very few
places where cyclic was used.

There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.
