+ Interface stucture for the Timer Architectural Protocol.
+
+ @par Protocol Description:
+ This protocol provides the services to initialize a periodic timer
+ interrupt, and to register a handler that is called each time the timer
+ interrupt fires. It may also provide a service to adjust the rate of the
+ periodic timer interrupt. When a timer interrupt occurs, the handler is
+ passed the amount of time that has passed since the previous timer
+ interrupt.
+
+ @param RegisterHandler
+ Registers a handler that will be called each time the
+ timer interrupt fires. TimerPeriod defines the minimum
+ time between timer interrupts, so TimerPeriod will also
+ be the minimum time between calls to the registered
+ handler.
+
+ @param SetTimerPeriod
+ Sets the period of the timer interrupt in 100 nS units.
+ This function is optional, and may return EFI_UNSUPPORTED.
+ If this function is supported, then the timer period will
+ be rounded up to the nearest supported timer period.
+
+ @param GetTimerPeriod
+ Retrieves the period of the timer interrupt in 100 nS units.
+
+ @param GenerateSoftInterrupt
+ Generates a soft timer interrupt that simulates the firing of
+ the timer interrupt. This service can be used to invoke the
+ registered handler if the timer interrupt has been masked for
+ a period of time.
