Quite a bit of the code is linux specific. Do I leave the generic code
broken?

I could put some hooks in that have to be satisfied by the
operating system specific versions.

That would require the following functins:

int itc_drifting(void)	-> OS dependent way of determining if ITC is drifting.

int __get_freq(void)	-> Determine ITC frequency that has to be simulated.

Are these to be put into a separate file? itc_drift.c that satisfied those
dependencies in an OS specific way?
