//
// Project:	Zip CPU -- a small, lightweight, RISC CPU soft core
//
// Purpose:	This peripheral is motivated by the Linux use of 'jiffies'.
//	A process, in Linux, can request to be put to sleep until a certain
//	number of 'jiffies' have elapsed.  Using this interface, the CPU can
//	read the number of 'jiffies' from this peripheral (it only has the
//	one location in address space), add the sleep length to it, and
//	write the result back to the peripheral.  The zipjiffies peripheral
//	will record the value written to it only if it is nearer the current
//	counter value than the last current waiting interrupt time.  If no
//	other interrupts are waiting, and this time is in the future, it will
//	be enabled.  (There is currrently no way to disable a jiffie interrupt
//	once set.)  The processor may then place this sleep request into a
//	list among other sleep requests.  Once the timer expires, it would
//	write the next jiffy request to the peripheral and wake up the process
//	whose timer had expired.
//
//	Quite elementary, really.
//
// Interface:
//	This peripheral contains one register: a counter.  Reads from the
//	register return the current value of the counter.  Writes within
//	the (N-1) bit space following the current time set an interrupt.
//	Writes of values that occurred in the last 2^(N-1) ticks will be
//	ignored.  The timer then interrupts when it's value equals that time. 
//	Multiple writes cause the jiffies timer to select the nearest possible
//	interrupt.  Upon an interrupt, the next interrupt time/value is cleared
//	and will need to be reset if the CPU wants to get notified again.  With
//	only the single interface, there is no way of knowing when the next
//	interrupt is scheduled for, neither is there any way to slow down the
//	interrupt timer in case you don't want it overflowing as often and you
//	wish to wait more jiffies than it supports.  Thus, currently, if you
//	have a timer you wish to wait upon that is more than 2^31 into the
//	future, you would need to set timers along the way, wake up on those
//	timers, and set further timer's until you finally get to your
//	destination.
