40 // Period is the minimum period of time in 100 nanosecond units that child gets called.
41 // The child will be called back after a time greater than the time Period.
42 //
43 // SmiTickInterval is the period of time interval between SMIs. Children of this interface
44 // should use this field when registering for periodic timer intervals when a finer
45 // granularity periodic SMI is desired. Valid values for this field are those returned
46 // by GetNextInterval. A value of 0 indicates the parent is allowed to use any SMI
47 // interval period to satisfy the requested period.
48 // Example: A chipset supports periodic SMIs on every 64ms or 2 seconds.
49 // A child wishes schedule a period SMI to fire on a period of 3 seconds, there
50 // are several ways to approach the problem:
51 // 1. The child may accept a 4 second periodic rate, in which case it registers with
52 // Period = 40000
53 // SmiTickInterval = 20000
54 // The resulting SMI will occur every 2 seconds with the child called back on
55 // every 2nd SMI.
56 // NOTE: the same result would occur if the child set SmiTickInterval = 0.
57 // 2. The child may choose the finer granularity SMI (64ms):
58 // Period = 30000
59 // SmiTickInterval = 640
60 // The resulting SMI will occur every 64ms with the child called back on
61 // every 47th SMI.
62 // NOTE: the child driver should be aware that this will result in more
63 // SMIs occuring during system runtime which can negatively impact system
64 // performance.
65 //
66 // ElapsedTime is the actual time in 100 nanosecond units elapsed since last called, a
67 // value of 0 indicates an unknown amount of time.
