I have used /dev/hpet as periodic interrupt and it works great but
settings for HPET_T2_CMP will be like this :

10 micro-seconds :  110 /* 0.00001 sec  */
100 micro-seconds : 1230 /* 0.0001 sec   */
1 milli-second : 13800 /* 0.001 sec    */
10 milli-seconds : 142580 /* 0.01 sec     */
100 milli-seconds : 1431150 /* 0.1 sec      */
1 second : 14317330 /* 1 sec        */
10 seconds : 143179330 /* 10 sec       */
100 seconds : 1431799400 /* 100 sec      */

I do not have a oscilloscope so I am measuring it by using printks.
I am curious, Why it is irregular.

I am looking for one more timer interrupt handler, how can I get one
more interrupt handler for user.

Thanks,
