 for userland timer facility

 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!
