Hi.

I've made a patch, updating MIPS timer code (except RMI) to utilize new
MI event timer infrastructure. I've successfully built QEMU and XLR
kernels with the patch. Unluckily I can't test how it works, unless
somebody teach me how to cook QEMU to run it. I also haven't ported RMI
timers drivers, as I am not sure how that hardware is intended to work.

Patch for HEAD can be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mav/timers_mips.patch

Could somebody falimiar with MIPS review/test my patch and extend it to
RMI hardware?

Thank you.
