 timer routines

 the timer should be a 16-bit counter that's incremented by about
 1000 units per second. it doesn't have to be particularly accurate,
 if you're working with e.g. a 60 Hz VBLANK IRQ, adding 17 to the
 counter every frame would be just fine.

 this is generic timer routines, machine specific code goes in drivers/<machinename>timer.s

functions

functiondescription
timer_timeout
check if specified period of time has passed yet
inputs: AX - maximum number of milliseconds we are willing to wait for
outputs: carry flag set if timeout occured, clear otherwise
