 		High Precision Event Timer Driver for Linux
 
-The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement
-for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality.
-Each HPET can have up to 32 timers.  It is possible to configure the
-first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers.
-A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at
-<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>.
+The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware follows a specification
+by Intel and Microsoft which can be found at
+
+	http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm
+
+Each HPET has one fixed-rate counter (at 10+ MHz, hence "High Precision")
+and up to 32 comparators.  Normally three or more comparators are provided,
+each of which can generate oneshot interupts and at least one of which has
+additional hardware to support periodic interrupts.  The comparators are
+also called "timers", which can be misleading since usually timers are
+independent of each other ... these share a counter, complicating resets.
+
+HPET devices can support two interrupt routing modes.  In one mode, the
+comparators are additional interrupt sources with no particular system
+role.  Many x86 BIOS writers don't route HPET interrupts at all, which
+prevents use of that mode.  They support the other "legacy replacement"
+mode where the first two comparators block interrupts from 8254 timers
+and from the RTC.
 
 The driver supports detection of HPET driver allocation and initialization
 of the HPET before the driver module_init routine is called.  This enables
 platform code which uses timer 0 or 1 as the main timer to intercept HPET
 initialization.  An example of this initialization can be found in
-arch/i386/kernel/time_hpet.c.
+arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c.
 
-The driver provides two APIs which are very similar to the API found in
-the rtc.c driver.  There is a user space API and a kernel space API.
-An example user space program is provided below.
+The driver provides a userspace API which resembles the API found in the
+RTC driver framework.  An example user space program is provided below.
 
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>

-The kernel API has three interfaces exported from the driver:
-
-	hpet_register(struct hpet_task *tp, int periodic)
-	hpet_unregister(struct hpet_task *tp)
-	hpet_control(struct hpet_task *tp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
-
-The kernel module using this interface fills in the ht_func and ht_data
-members of the hpet_task structure before calling hpet_register.
-hpet_control simply vectors to the hpet_ioctl routine and has the same
-commands and respective arguments as the user API.  hpet_unregister
-is used to terminate usage of the HPET timer reserved by hpet_register.
