/**
* @addtogroup GTIMER
* @details The GTIMER module provides high level, simple and hardware
* independend timers. The timers are meant to be used in different
* ChibiOS/GFX modules and are not very accurate.
*
* @details The reason why ChibiOS/GFX has it's own timer abstraction is because
* virtual timers provided by ChibiOS/RT are interrupt context only.
* While great for what they are designed for, they make coding of the input
* drivers much more complex.
* For non-performance critical drivers like these input drivers, it would also
* hog an in-ordinate amount of critical (interrupt locked) system time.
* This contrary to the goals of a real-time operating system. So a user-land
* (thread based) timer mechanism is also required.
