Peter Anvin <hpa(a)zytor.com> CommitDate: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:15:19 -0800 x86, apbt: Moorestown APB system timer driver Moorestown platform does not have PIT or HPET platform timers. Instead it has a bank of eight APB timers. The number of available timers to the os is exposed via SFI mtmr tables. All APB timer interrupts are routed via ioapic rtes and delivered as MSI. Currently, we use timer 0 and 1 for per cpu clockevent devices, timer 2 for clocksource.
