msleep() measure times in units of 1/hz seconds. We had hz = 1,000,000, which gives excellent resolution (microsecond) but a terible range (limits msleep()'s timeout to 35 minutes). We had a program (Cassandra) doing poll() with a timeout of 2 hours, which caused msleep to think we gave a negative timeout. This patch reduces hz to 1,000, i.e., have msleep() operate in the same units as poll(). Looking at the code, I don't believe this change will have any ill-effects - we don't need higher resolution (freebsd code is used to hz=1,000, which is the default there), and the code converts time units to hz's correctly, always using the hz macro. The allowed range for timeouts will grow to over 24 days - and match poll()'s allowed range.
