Hi, here is the candidate for inclusion, including Changelog.

It has a resolution of 1 second, which is OK I think, as afaik grub_get_rtc is
only used to display timeout counters.

And my machine, for example, does not even report more precise information
(the struct returned by the EFI call has a nanosecond member, but it's content
is always 0) ...

And for more precise time related operations, EFI offers a stall() call, which
takes a number of microseconds as a parameters, IIRC.


Any objection ?
