Ick. How hard would it be to pull off one of the following:
1) Give time_pps_fetch() the ability to become a blocking call
2) Modify the PPS API slightly, by allowing time_pps_fetch() to return a list
of events, rather than just 1 event (would need facility to set max # of
events for kernel to record - max backlog)
I can't think of any other way of dealing with the problem of remote
controls under freebsd, other than out-right writing something new tailored
for the problem. I assume #1 is hard, since it's not implemented, and is
proposed in the PPS API. #2 would be an a-ok solution too, since I could
poll time_pps_fetch() 10 times/sec or something and still give fairly
real-time response to remote control button presses.
