The 216*usec is obviously determined by hardware, but the choice of
nsec for the interface, and converting to usec internally seems
arbitrary; the caller could just easily supply usec. Or do you
envision using this interface for timeouts < 1 usec?

"SZ_8M" seems a little unusual as a time measurement and doesn't give
a hint about the units. It's pretty common to use "8 * USEC_PER_MSEC"
or even "8 * NSEC_PER_MSEC" for things like this.

But it's fine with me as-is.
