If an error occurs while attempting to update the timer period, then the
timer hardware will be put back in its state prior to this call, and
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned. If TimerPeriod is 0, then the timer interrupt
is disabled. This is not the same as disabling the CPU's interrupts.
Instead, it must either turn off the timer hardware, or it must adjust the
interrupt controller so that a CPU interrupt is not generated when the timer
interrupt fires.

@param TimerPeriod The rate to program the timer interrupt in 100 nS units. If
the timer hardware is not programmable, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is

by the timer hardware. If TimerPeriod is set to 0, then the
timer interrupts will be disabled.

/**
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.
