-// Period is the minimum period of time in 100 nanosecond units that child gets called.
-// The child will be called back after a time greater than the time Period.
-//
-// SmiTickInterval is the period of time interval between SMIs. Children of this interface
-// should use this field when registering for periodic timer intervals when a finer
-// granularity periodic SMI is desired. Valid values for this field are those returned
-// by GetNextInterval. A value of 0 indicates the parent is allowed to use any SMI
-// interval period to satisfy the requested period.
-// Example: A chipset supports periodic SMIs on every 64ms or 2 seconds.
-// A child wishes schedule a period SMI to fire on a period of 3 seconds, there
-// are several ways to approach the problem:
-// 1. The child may accept a 4 second periodic rate, in which case it registers with
-// Period = 40000
-// SmiTickInterval = 20000
-// The resulting SMI will occur every 2 seconds with the child called back on
-// every 2nd SMI.
-// NOTE: the same result would occur if the child set SmiTickInterval = 0.
-// 2. The child may choose the finer granularity SMI (64ms):
-// Period = 30000
-// SmiTickInterval = 640
-// The resulting SMI will occur every 64ms with the child called back on
-// every 47th SMI.
-// NOTE: the child driver should be aware that this will result in more
-// SMIs occuring during system runtime which can negatively impact system
-// performance.
-//
-// ElapsedTime is the actual time in 100 nanosecond units elapsed since last called, a
-// value of 0 indicates an unknown amount of time.
