If you think we're "faking" something by dropping the current "timer" request_irq() then we certainly don't need to do that .. The io-apic timer could potentially be a clock event device, that is it's function isn't it ? It generates interrupts (note I said interrupts) periodically .. The NMI is another example of that, generates non-maskable interrupts based off a clock.. All are clock based interrupt generating devices .. All could be clock event sources, with all the other clock event sources in the system. It makes sense (to me at least) that we should list all those interrupt generating devices in /proc/interrupts with statistics of their usage.. I'm making suggestion here, you can call it "fake"'ing something or whatever, but I'm still going to pose suggestions. Empirically, I know that users do not/will not understand what's happened. so take that how ever you want, but _I_ think we should do something so people better understand what has happened. Daniel -
