svcGetSysMillisec(), svcGetSysMicrosec()
Returns the number of time units (microseconds or milliseconds) elapsed since
the Epoch (Jan 1970 for Linux).
The functions may be used for general timing purposes and are accurate to well
under 1 millisecond. The return type is unsigned long long to avoid rollover
problems until the year 2037 (because the underlying Linux calls return seconds
in a signed long).
