Subject[PATCH v2 3/7] timecounter: allow for non-power of two overflow
Date
Some hardware counters which are used as clocks have an overflow point
which is not a power of two. In order to be able to use the cycle
counter infrastructure with such hardware, add support for more generic
overflow logic.
