ia64 is legacy-free so there is no guarantee that the old timer chip
is there (it isn't on hp's zx1-platforms, for example). The EFI real
time interface doesn't provide for fine-grained timers, but the high
precision event timer (HPET) does. However, HPET is not widely
implemented yet in today's hardware. Depending on what you want to
do, the PMU could also be used as a high-precision timer.
