pktgen and timers in 2.6

The pktgen module often wants to sleep for a very short amount of time (1ms, maybe even .01 ms) between sending packets....

Currently, it busy-spins to achieve this delay.

Would the real-time timers in 2.6 allow us to run pktgen off of timers instead so that we do not need to sleep or spin?

I have looked around, but I have not been able to find any docs on the new real-time timer features. Is there any documentation for how to use this in kernel modules?

Thanks,
Ben
