I already built a kernel with APIC in one-shot-mode as timer tick source.
Just wrote a periodic sample task to test absolute timeouts as suggested.
I now want to put some load on the system as I did in native Linux with 
tools like "hackbench" and "cache calibrator".
Any suggestions how to achieve this under L4? The same tools inside a 
L4Linux environment?

Cheers,
Andre
