/* The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
* The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
* ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
* using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
* which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
* When it reaches zero it will trigger a QEMU bottom half handler, and
* can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
* and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
*
* Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
* bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
* to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.
*/
/* The default ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the legacy
* timers. Custom policies are adjusting the default one. Consider providing
* a correct policy for your timer.
*
* The rough edges of the default policy:
* - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
* timer without a trigger.
*
* - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
* stops the timer without a trigger.
*
* - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
* is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
* If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
*
* - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
*
* - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
* since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
* counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
