Right, there's no other API taking nanoseconds. On the other hand I didn't
want to limit capabilities of hypervisors as, e.g., qemu supports nanoseconds
precision (although it won't be able fulfil that for sure). Milliseconds seem
to be enough these days and we can always add a flag requesting higher
precision in the future if it's required.
