[Meego-kernel] APB Timer Module

[MeForMeego Meego]

Thanks Arjan for the quick response,

I am looking for a timer with resolution as low as 16us. Would a normal
userspace timer interface be able to provide this? So, was wondering how to
decouple and use this apb timer from the normal jiffies/tick timer?

Regards,
Tom
