I was thinking about potential visual effects.  But perhaps you were
right with the first approach, i.e. debugging -> deterministic (which
in this case would ideally also use the frequency derived from the
system clock passed to omap_lpg_init), normal work -> realtime.  I'll
just push the original patch then, if you're ok with that.
