- * setting functions away from the clock event insertion code, we provide
- * function pointers to the clockevent subsystem that perform two basic
- * operations: rdtime() reads the timer on the current CPU, and
- * next_event(delta) sets the next timer event to 'delta' cycles in the future.
- * As the timers are inherently a per-cpu resource, these callbacks perform
- * operations on the current hart. There is guaranteed to be exactly one timer
- * per hart on all RISC-V systems.
