That's just a random number someone pulled out of a hat. We currently
use 20 usec for the arming registers writes, and we don't have any estimate
for the non-arming stuff since we don't need it. But for flip queue we need
to guesstimate the whole thing, so I suppose I might as well slap in a 80usec
for the non-arming part now. 

Ideally we should calculate this based on how many registers we are writing,
but that would require measuring the DSB execution speed and coming up with
a reasonable formula for it...
