Ch7 and 8 deal with the Classic API Managers.  Leon is looking at the
device drivers of the same name so should be in the BSP and Device
Driver Guide.

The clock driver is responsible for making a clock tick happen.  It
exists solely to call rtems_clock_tick() at a regular rate.

The timer driver is seldom used in real applications.  Its primary
purpose is to support the tmtests.

This chapter does cover the CONFIGURE_ constants.
