The Posix high-res timer stuff, I think. Have you tried expressing what you want user programs to do in terms of Posix high-res timers yet?

Yes; perhaps you could create a service provider interface for the posix high-res timer stuff, then use that SPI to plug your hardware in?
I may be way off base here, but it does seem like it's due dilligence to verify that you're not reinventing an interface here. - Dan
