Subject: Re: Help with rtc to hpet conversion of OSGPS driver

Maybe I'm way off here, but that seems to be the function to register a 
RTC hardware chip with the kernel.  I want to use a real-time clock 
interrupt to wake up my driver and service the GPS correlator, about 
every 500ms.  Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding.
