+/* How timers work:
+ *
+ * On uniprocessors we just use counter zero for the system wide
+ * ticker, this performs thread scheduling, clock book keeping,
+ * and runs timer based events. Previously we used the Ultra
+ * %tick interrupt for this purpose.
+ *
+ * On multiprocessors we pick one cpu as the master level 10 tick
+ * processor. Here this counter zero tick handles clock book
+ * keeping and timer events only. Each Ultra has it's level
+ * 14 %tick interrupt set to fire off as well, even the master
+ * tick cpu runs this locally. This ticker performs thread
+ * scheduling, system/user tick counting for the current thread,
+ * and also profiling if enabled.

+/* Two timers, traditionally steered to PIL's 10 and 14 respectively.
+ * But since INO packets are used on sun5, we could use any PIL level
+ * we like, however for now we use the normal ones.
+ *
+ * The 'reg' and 'interrupts' properties for these live in nodes named
+ * 'counter-timer'. The first of three 'reg' properties describe where
+ * the sun5_timer registers are. The other two I have no idea. (XXX)
