Does the event have to occur *after* the post time, or does it have to
occur *at* the post time? If it's *at*, you need an NMI clock, not an
alarm clock; if it's *after*, an alarm clock will do. The distinction is
whether the real time clock interrupt will require a reordering of the
interrupt priorities and a [possible] change to the scheduler.
