NtWaitForMultipleObjects() can receive a timeout in two forms, relative or
absolute. Relative timeouts are unaffected by changes to the system time and do
not count down while the system suspends; for absolute timeouts the opposite is
true.

In order to make the interface and implementation simpler, the ntsync driver
only deals in absolute timeouts. However, we need to be able to emulate both
behaviours apropos suspension and time adjustment, which is achieved by allowing
either the MONOTONIC or REALTIME clock to be used.

Oops, yes, that does feel wrong now that you point it out.

I'll squash this in v3, assuming there's a need for one.
