Routine Description:
This function computes the number of milliseconds since the system
was booted. The computation is performed by multiplying the clock
interrupt count by a scaled fixed binary multiplier and then right
shifting the 64-bit result to extract the 32-bit millisecond count.
The multiplier fraction is scaled by 24 bits. Thus for a 100 Hz clock
rate, there are 10 ticks per millisecond, and the multiplier is
0x0a000000 (10 << 24). For a 128 Hz clock rate, there are 7.8125, or
7 13/16 ticks per millisecond, and so the multiplier is 0x07d00000.
This effectively replaces a (slow) divide instruction with a (fast)
multiply instruction. The multiplier value is only calculated once
based on the TimeIncrement value (clock tick interval in 100ns units).
N.B. The tick count value wraps every 2^32 milliseconds (49.71 days).
Arguments:
None.
Return Value:
The number of milliseconds since the system was booted is returned
as the function value.
