/* 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).
