- * Steve's changes to improve transmission fidelity:
- *   - for systems with the rdtsc instruction and the clock counter, a
- *     send_pule that times the pulses directly using the counter.
- *     This means that the IR_SERIAL_TRANSMITTER_LATENCY fudge is
- *     not needed. Measurement shows very stable waveform, even where
- *     PCI activity slows the access to the UART, which trips up other
- *     versions.
- *   - For other system, non-integer-microsecond pulse/space lengths,
- *     done using fixed point binary. So, much more accurate carrier
- *     frequency.
- *   - fine tuned transmitter latency, taking advantage of fractional
- *     microseconds in previous change
- *   - Fixed bug in the way transmitter latency was accounted for by
- *     tuning the pulse lengths down - the send_pulse routine ignored
- *     this overhead as it timed the overall pulse length - so the
- *     pulse frequency was right but overall pulse length was too
- *     long. Fixed by accounting for latency on each pulse/space
- *     iteration.
