I'm trying to get a feel for the maximum time from an interrupt coming in until
the userspace handler gets notified. On intel you can program the hardware to
generate interupts through /dev/rtc. The powerpc doesn't seem to support this.
Jiffies are not accurate enough, I am expecting max latencies in the 1-2 ms range.

Unfortunately no. USB/Firewire/Ethernet on the desktop, ethernet/serial for
compactPCI.
I want to find an additional programmable interrupt source. It bites that cheap
PCs have this, and the powerpc doesn't.
