It depends on how you use it. Generally the actual firing will not happen
exactly on the specified mark. So if your implementation is "set clock
for 1ms in the future; when it fires, set for 1ms in the future again"
that is likely to be inaccurate. If you implement it as "set clock for
1ms in the future; when it fires, set for 1ms after the time when it
should have fired" it will probably be better.
In particular, if the semantics of your timer fit the ptimer API
(which can implement oneshot and periodic timers) then I would recommend
using that instead of a raw QEMUTimer; it deals with a lot of these
fiddly details for you.
