Nice article Harry! Some remarks though:
* Is /dev/rtc the kernel timer? I thought it was the device node for
access to the real-time clock. I don't even think it's necessary to
prioritize it anymore because most applications use the kernel timer:

I'm far from an expert on timers so I could be wrong, I still find this
a bit of esoteric stuff.
* Using setpci in this context is deprecated unless you're still using
am machine with a PCI bus which I highly doubt:
