   2   Produces the Metronome Architectural Protocol on top of Timer Library.
   3
   4   This is a generic implementation of the Metronome Architectural Protocol that
   5   layers on top of an instance of the Timer Library.  The Timer Library provides
   6   functions for nanosecond and microsecond delays.  This generic implementation
   7   produces a fixed TickPeriod of 1 100ns unit, and when the WaitForTick() service
   8   is called, the number of ticks passed in is converted to either nanosecond or
   9   microsecond units.  If the number of ticks is small, then nanoseconds are used.
  10   If the number of ticks is large, then microseconds are used.  This prevents
  11   overflows that could occur for long delays if only nanoseconds were used and also
  12   provides the greatest accuracy for small delays.

  41   Waits for the specified number of ticks.
  42
  43   This function implements EFI_METRONOME_ARCH_PROTOCOL.WaitForTick().
  44   The WaitForTick() function waits for the number of ticks specified by
  45   TickNumber from a known time source in the platform.  If TickNumber of
  46   ticks are detected, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned.  The actual time passed
  47   between entry of this function and the first tick is between 0 and
  48   TickPeriod 100 nS units.  If you want to guarantee that at least TickPeriod
  49   time has elapsed, wait for two ticks.  This function waits for a hardware
  50   event to determine when a tick occurs.  It is possible for interrupt
  51   processing, or exception processing to interrupt the execution of the
  52   WaitForTick() function.  Depending on the hardware source for the ticks, it
  53   is possible for a tick to be missed.  This function cannot guarantee that
  54   ticks will not be missed.  If a timeout occurs waiting for the specified
  55   number of ticks, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.
