Scheduler will now set a timer interrupt deadline for when it should get interrupted next. This fixes a big issue I've had for a long time where sleeping on an idle core would have to wait for the next periodic interrupt to wake up. This could cause 1 ms sleeps to be close to 10 ms. This currently only supports lapic timers and will still fallback to periodic interrupts when running with PIC. I should add deadline support to PIT/HPET but why would you run with APIC disabled ;)
