How about tick()-less kernel - replace dependance on regular hearbeat
with a delta-queue that could be used to program the time of the next
scheduled interrupt? You could start with the delta-queue pretending
to be a regular heart beat then work on changing deltas between
events... I'm sure there was a mention of something similar in
Linux...
