It is possible to configure the -first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers. -A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at -<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>. - -The driver supports detection of HPET driver allocation and initialization -of the HPET before the driver module_init routine is called. This enables -platform code which uses timer 0 or 1 as the main timer to intercept HPET -initialization. An example of this initialization can be found in -arch/i386/kernel/time_hpet.c. - -The driver provides two APIs which are very similar to the API found in -the rtc.c driver.
