Sorry Kristen, I think my comment confused you.  I was worried about passing "0"
back as the core_busy value after a long delay.  Given that it is already
possible to return 0 when the duration exceeds 3 * the expected delay I no
longer think there is any issue of returning 0 on a _really really really long_
delay.

IOW, there isn't a problem and I was being overly careful with v1 of the patch.
