The following reply was made to PR kern/112544; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, takeharu1219@ybb.ne.jp Cc: Subject: Re: kern/112544: [acpi] [patch] Add High Precision Event Timer Driver for userland timer facility Date: Sun, 05 Dec 2010 17:05:16 +0200 We still do not provide a userland interface to HPET. But do we really want to? What kind of applications would use it and why existing userland timer facilities are not adequate for them? In any case, HPET and event timer code has been substantially re-organized in head, so the patch would have to be rebased if the submitter still want that kind of functionality. Thanks for helping FreeBSD! -- Andriy Gapon
