The patch looks good to me FWIW. I would be interested in using this perhaps in issue8844, which involves lock timeouts. It may be true that the POSIX API uses nanoseconds, but pythreads only exposes microsecond precision. In order to use it from the thread module, it need to get moved into Python/. My best guess at the best place to put it would be sysmodule.c, since that already wraps other system calls. Or, you know, we could live a little and make a new file for it. :)
