Got a look at your thesis. I saw you support the idea of using the timer
interrupt handler as a direct controller task. You say with a callback
but that does not change the core of the idea.

Then, FYI, you missed that the support you sought was already available
in RTAI. It is the one used to support RTW "a la" VxWorks in RTAI. In
the actual RTW usage its callback just signal a semaphore, so it ends
using the scheduler, but you can do it the other way you like much more.
It is called sysAuxClock and there are examples to show how to support:
- the PC 8254 timer,
- the PC RTC,
- NI E series timers.
