Hi all,

Thanx for the info.

We are testing the concept of user level device
drivers. My work is to port alsa to user land. I
basically need to remove all kernel dependencies and
get it to compile in user space.
 
I had to deal with some timers (all of
them work with jiffies). I was thinking of a way to
make it work without breaking the existing code.  
 
Guess the best way would be to use uptime and
convert it into jiffies.
 
Thanx,
kaushik
