You can even do this in __ipipe_mach_set_dec, this avoid the need to
modify I-ipipe non-machine specific code. Something like:

void __ipipe_mach_set_dec(unsigned long delay)
{
    if (delay < 8)
        ipipe_trigger_irq(__ipipe_mach_timerint);
    else
        OSMR0 = OSCR + delay;
}

Supposing that OSSR=OSSR_M0 is done elsewhere.
