the API is already "get_timer()" for msec precision, so this probably should 
be named "timer_get_us()".  although this differs from the common "get_timer" 
in that this is supposed to return an absolute time from boot instead of 
relative to the passed in "base", so probably want to name it accordingly to 
avoid confusion: timer_get_boot_us().

the POST code already has a func that does this called "post_time_ms()".  so 
that should get thrown out and converted to this new func.

all of which means this particular func should be a sep patch.
