Thomas Gleixner 54cdfdb47f [PATCH] hrtimers: add high resolution timer support
Implement high resolution timers on top of the hrtimers infrastructure and the
clockevents / tick-management framework.  This provides accurate timers for
all hrtimer subsystem users.

select TICK_ONESHOT
help
This option enables a tickless system: timer interrupts will
only trigger on an as-needed basis both when the system is
busy and when the system is idle.
config HIGH_RES_TIMERS
bool "High Resolution Timer Support"
depends on GENERIC_TIME && GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
select TICK_ONESHOT
help
This option enables high resolution timer support. If your
hardware is not capable then this option only increases
the size of the kernel image.
