    description   "
        On all current target systems the kernel can provide a
        real-time clock. This clock serves two purposes. First it is
        necessary to support clock and alarm related functions.
        Second it is needed to implement timeslicing in some of the
        schedulers including the mlqueue scheduler. If the
        application does not require any of these facilities then it
        is possible to disable the real time clock support
        completely."

        The kernel has default settings for the clock interrupt
        frequency. These settings will vary from platform to
        platform, but typically there will be a 100 clock interrupts
        every second. It is possible to change this frequency, but
        it requires some knowledge of the target hardware."

            During system initialization this value is used to initialize
            the clock hardware. The exact meaning of the value and the
            range of legal values therefore depends on the target hardware,
            and the hardware documentation should be consulted for further
            details. In addition the clock resolution numerator and
            denominator values should be updated. Typical values for
            this option would be 150000 on the MN10300 stdeval1 board,
            15625 on the tx39 jmr3904 board, and 20833 on the powerpc

            If a non-default clock interrupt frequency is used then it
            is necessary to specify the clock resolution explicitly.
            This resolution involves two separate values, the numerator
            and the denominator. The result of dividing the numerator by
            the denominator should correspond to the number of
            nanoseconds between clock interrupts. For example a
            numerator of 1000000000 and a denominator of 100 means that
            there are 10000000 nanoseconds (or 10 milliseconds) between
            clock interrupts. Expressing the resolution as a fraction
            should minimize clock drift even for frequencies that cannot
            be expressed as a simple integer. For example a frequency of
            60Hz corresponds to a clock resolution of 16666666.66...
            nanoseconds. This can be expressed accurately as 1000000000

        Sorting the counter lists reduces the amount of work that
        has to be done when a counter tick is processed, since the
        next alarm to expire is always at the front of the list.
        However, it makes adding an alarm to the list more expensive
        since a search must be done for the correct place to put it.
        Many alarms are used to implement timeouts, which seldom trigger,
        so it is worthwhile optimizing this case. For this reason
        sorted list are disabled by default."
