On systems where the timing isn't as rigid, or the load is particularly high, these tests are unreliable since the wake latency from the scheduler can be high enough to miss the timing window. Remove these tests from the test suites. Maybe it's useful for these tests to be present as a diagnostics tool, but for normal unit testing, they don't provide much value. They have falsely flagged patches as FAIL on various infrastructures.
