kernel: sys_sleep - a cooperative delay off the DIV timer (+ ping pacing)
There was no time source at all (IRQ vectors just reti; scheduler is purely cooperative). The DIV register (FF04) free-runs at 16384 Hz regardless of interrupts, so sys_sleep accumulates DIV deltas across SchedYields (other procs keep running) until the requested number of 1/64-second units elapse. - SYS_SLEEP(34): B = 1/64s units; libc gsleep(units) / msleep(ms) wrappers. - ping now msleep(800) between echoes, so it paces like real ping instead of blasting all four at once. Verified real-time (capped emulator): replies land ~0.85s apart. In --uncapped runs the delay is GB-time (fast wall-clock), as expected.
