- switch over from a high-bandwidth DLL to a low-bandwidth DLL after initial settling. Prediction performance is better than 100ticks (20 on average).

26 /**
27  * Implements a DLL based mechanism to track the cycle timer
28  * register of the Ieee1394Service pointed to by the 'parent'.
29  *
30  * A DLL mechanism is performance-wise better suited, since it
31  * does not require an OS call. Hence we run a thread to update
32  * the DLL at regular time intervals, and then use the DLL to
33  * generate a cycle timer estimate for the parent to pass on
34  * to it's clients.
35  *
36  * The idea is to make reading the cycle timer real-time safe,
37  * which isn't (necessarily)the case for the direct raw1394 call,
38  * since it's a kernel call that could block (although the current
39  * implementation is RT safe).
40  *
41  * This also allows us to run on systems not having the
42  * raw1394_read_cycle_timer kernel call. We can always do a normal
43  * read of our own cycle timer register, but that's not very accurate.
44  * The accuracy is improved by this DLL mechanism. Still not as good
45  * as when using the raw1394_read_cycle_timer call, but anyway.
46  *
47  * On the long run this code will also allow us to map system time
48  * on to 1394 time for the current host controller, hence enabling
49  * different clock domains to operate together.
