//
// The basic ideas for this driver come from the MMOSA code,
// though the implementation differs.  This is partly because
// the code needs to run on Virtual PC and it isn't able to do
// a very accurate emulation of the i8254.
//
// There are two source available for timing - the Real-Time
// Clock (RTC) and the programmable interval timer (PIT).  The
// standard PC RTC is based on derivatives of the Motorola
// MC146818A.  It's able to provide the time with a resolution
// of 1 second and also has a programmable periodic interrupt.
//
// The programmable interrupt timer is based on the i8254.  It
// can be programmed in a variety of modes - we use it to
// generate an interrupt at a configurable time in the future
// and then reprogram it each interrupt.  The maximum interrupt
// period is 65535 ticks of a 1.193MHz clock.
//
// We use both of the RTC and the programmable interrupt timer to
// maintain our estimate of the current time.  The RTC provides granularity
// to with 1/64 seconds and the time is used to get an estimate to within
// 1/1.193 * 10e-6 seconds within each RTC interval.
//
// The key variables are:
//
// upTime -   the time the system has been up.  This variable gets
//            updated during the periodic RTC interrupt handling
//            (delta = 1/64Hz).
//
// pitLast -  the last value programmed into the PIT.  The PIT counts down
//            and generates an interrupt at (or shortly after) the instant
//            the current PIT value reaches zero.
//
// pitAccum - the accumulated time measured by the PIT since upTime
//            was updated.
//
// The current kernel time is always:
//      upTime + pitAccum + (pitLast - pitCurrent)
//
// The PIT is always programmed to run, either by the consumer of the timer
// interface or by the timer itself.
//
//    Timer::SetNextInterrupt(t)
//      pitAccum += (pitLast - pitCurrent)
//      // program PIT (not shown)
//      pitLast = t
//
//    Timer::Interrupt()
//      pitAccum += pitLast;
//      // But PIT time may accumulate between interrupt dispatch and crossing
//      // Zero so.
//      if (pitCurrent != 0)
//           pitAccum += (MaxPitValue - pitCurrent)
//      // Inform user of interrupt
//      if (userNotScheduledInterrupt)
//           SetNextInterrupt(MaxInterruptInterval)
//
//    RTC::Interrupt()
//      pitLast = pitNow
//      pitAccum = 0
//      upTime += RTCInterruptPeriod
//
// All of these methods are atomic interrupt-wise.
//
// Note: if we want to test the accuracy of the timer over a
// period we can set RTC::Interrupt to just return without
// touching any variables.  All of the time accumulated will end
// up in pitAccum.
//
// Conditionals
//
// TIMER_NO_GO  - disables timer and scheduling of timer interrupts.
//
// RTC_NO_GO    - disable RTC.
//
// DEBUG_TIMER  - enable timer debug messages and boot-time diagnostics.
//
// DEBUG_CLOCK  - enable clock debug messages
//
// LOG_CLOCK    - log adjustments to clock time and dump out later.
//
// LOG_SNI      - log calls to SetNextInterrupt to see what's being thrown in.
//
// Tip: When this code does not behave useful things to check
// are the interrupt rate and the rate of calls to
// SetNextInterrupt.
