http://perforce.freebsd.org/chv.cgi?CH=96873 Change 96873 by jb@jb_freebsd2 on 2006/05/09 20:48:32 Add the hook for the cyclic timers for use when there isn't a higher performance time based interrupt source like the HPET. This hook allows the cyclic timers to function, but they can be fired no faster than 'hz' per second. If the CPU has a HPET, then the machine-dependent cyclic initialisation code should use that instead and leave the hook here NULL. The HPET was specified by Intel as recently as 2004, so as of today, most i386 systems in the wild won't have it.
