NAME
     geodecntr -- AMD Geode SC1100 High Resolution Counter

SYNOPSIS
     geodegcb*  at pci? dev ? function ?
     geodecntr* at geodegcb?

DESCRIPTION
     The geodecntr driver supports the AMD SC1100 controllers and provides a
     timecounter implementation for the 27MHz counter.

     The other timing sources in the SC1100 suffer from powermanagement fea-
     tures that prohibit i8254 and TSC to be used for time keeping.  This
     geodecntr driver makes the 27MHz counter available for the timecounter(9)
     framework.
