David, we talked awhile back about a generic timer interface that we
could use on SN platforms as a non-drifting replacement for the ITC.
I've taken a look at the Intel multimedia timer spec like you
suggested and came up with the following header file.  I've
implemented it on our system with some glibc changes to the hp timing
routines and things seem to work fine.  I'd like to get people's
comments on the ioctl interface though, because I'd like it to be
useful on other platforms as well.  Also, do you need me to resend the
salinfo patch I posted awhile back or are you just waiting for the SAL
spec to get updated?  I noticed it wasn't in the latest patch.

Thanks,
Jesse

 *   Frequency of the clock in Hz
 *
 * MMTIMER_GETLEGACYIRQ - required
 *   Returns 1 if the device can route IRQs to legacy interrupt controllers
 *
 * MMTIMER_GETBITS - required
 *   Number of bits in the clock's counter
 *
 * MMTIMER_GETNUM - required
 *   Number of comparators available
 *
 * MMTIMER_MMAPAVAIL - required
 *   Returns 1 if the registers can be mmap'd into userspace
 *
 * MMTIMER_SETPERIODIC - required
 *   Sets the comparator in question to the value specified.
 *   The interrupt handler will add the value specified to the
 *   comparator after a match.
 *
 * MMTIMER_SETONESHOT - required
 *   Like the above, but the comparator is not updated after the match.
 *
 * MMTIMER_GETCOUNTER - required
