/* MPL_SCHED_YIELD() - Yield the processor to OS scheduler */
/* On a typical Linux system (verified with kernels 3.2 and 3.5),
 * usleep has a resolution of more than 1000 cycles. This makes
 * it impractical if the desired sleeping period is shorter. On
 * the other hand, sleep(0) returns immediately without going to
 * the kernel. This means that there is no actual yielding, which
 * is equivalent to doing nothing. Thus, usleep and sleep are not
 * recommended as ways to yield the CPU, and sched_yield would be
 * preferred if available.
 * Note that nanosleep has the same shortcomings as usleep.*/
