   Sure, because each platform has a specific implementation of the clock
   interrupts. That doesn't change anything about stathz being an
   implementation detail.


there's a big difference to something been an implementation
detail, and something being part of the API between MI and MD
code for some implementation.

i think all these, and more -- hardclock() and friends -- could
do with a nice document, and i think MI/MD apis should have man
pages.
