/*
 * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
 * jiffies does not notice.  A timer is set.  When the timer fires, it
 * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
 * margin of error.  The hangcheck_tick module paramter takes the timer
 * duration in seconds.  The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
 * margin of error, in seconds.  The defaults are 60 seconds for the
 * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error.  IOW, a timer is set
 * for 60 seconds.  When the timer fires, the callback checks the
 * actual duration that the timer waited.  If the duration exceeds the
 * alloted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
 * is restarted.  A healthy machine will have the duration match the
 * expected timeout very closely.
