While you are right about that the fact that clockEdge() can be used,
the check that I am adding would still be required. This is because
newCount can be 0, in which case you would end up scheduling an event
at the same tick, while the intention of the Linux kernel is to actually
shutdown the apic timer.

You really think we need a keyboard or a mouse in a simulator!
I am not implementing them anyway.
