SubjectRe: how to measure scheduler latency on powerpc? realfeel doesn't work due to /dev/rtc issues

The timestamp is not hard to get. The problem is getting a medium-frequency
(2KHz or so) hardware interrupt to drive the test.

On intel, you can do this by programming /dev/rtc. This does not work in powerpc.
