Is there any interval timer on HP zx1 platforms, other than the CPU-based ITC/ITM? All I need is some mechanism that can deliver an interrupt "after a short time", where I don't care exactly how long that is, but preferably of the order of several microseconds (pinging the chipset is a bit short I think). I used to use the PMU for this - the PMU is useful for an incredible number of things - but this was causing a bug (because of the 'freeze' behaviour on an interrupt, I miss important events in other counters). Multiplexing ITC/ITM complicates my common path so I'm trying to avoid doing that if I can find any other way... Any ideas?
