Thats easily do-able but I have some reservations

1. Some 5I20 stepgen configs are really close to being full. Its possible a 
TSC would put some over the top so it would be good if driver code could 
support TSC and non TSC stepgens.

2. Calibration is likely still desireable even with the TSC to make sure that 
the stepgens clock (or TSC) is close to whatever generates the PCs servo 
thread (8253?)
