The obvious thing for it to do is to go back in time and resume
executing that many seconds ago, but failing that, I would have it do
the latter. It's already documented as potentially sleeping a bit
longer than the specified time (for instance, it's rounded up to the
minimum resolution, and task switches can increase the time), so it's
not much of a stretch to have negative sleep times result in a
yield/context switch and no further sleeping.
