[microtime() for joystick "ADC"]

I must admit that I didn't...

Well, here are some contradicting requirements. One is to
use a joystick on modern platforms which are not PC-like, the
other is to keep things usable on old boxes.
I feel inclined to claim that old boxes are rarely used for
games etc, but of course I don't want to deliberately make
them unusable.

Just an idea: How about putting a copy of the old
joy_timer code into dev/isa and have it hook into
a pointer defined in joy.c?
The code was really depending on ISA all the time,
so this should keep the status quo.

But before I'd like to get an idea about the
performance in real life. I'll ask around.

best regards
Matthias
