[patch 12/14] ap: Use high-resolution timer for polling

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Tue Jul 01 2008 - 08:54:56 EST


From: Felix Beck <felix.beck@xxxxxxxxxx>

The ap poll mechanism is converted to use a high-resolution timer for
polling. This allows more specific polling. With this a new sysfs
attribute is introduced to specify the polling rate in nanoseconds.
