> vhpet is now based on vpt.c.

Yes, understood.  IIRC the main problem is that a new
timer mode is needed that guarantees that no two
ticks can be delivered too close together (and doesn't
ever care if they are delivered too far apart).
I think I had suggested the mode be called "no_fast_ticks".

However, my memory may be faulty here, so I cc'ed Dave
hoping he would chime in.
