/**

 * This walks the list of outstanding scheduled events and dispatches
 * them if they have met their scheduled time. Due to legacy issues
 * there are a couple of subtleties with how this operates:
 *
 * - Generally there are so few entries on the list the overhead of
 *     ordering the list exceeds the cost of simply enumerating them.
 *
 * - The scheduled time is the time *after* which we should call the
 *     operation back, this can result in the next scheduled time
 *     being zero. This is exceedingly rare as the core schedules in
 *     10ms (cs) quanta and we almost always get called to schedule
 *     after the event time.
 *
 * - The callbacks can cause the schedule list to be re-arranged added
 *     to or even completely deleted. This means we must reset the
 *     list enumeration to the beginning every time an event is
 *     dispatched.
 *
 * @return The number of milliseconds untill the next scheduled event
 * or -1 for no event.
