+Clock callbacks
+---------------
+
+You can give a clock a callback function in several ways:
+
+ * by passing it as an argument to ``qdev_init_clock_in()``
+ * as an argument to the ``QDEV_CLOCK_IN()`` macro initializing an
+   array to be passed to ``qdev_init_clocks()``
+ * by directly calling the ``clock_set_callback()`` function
+
+The callback function must be of this type:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   typedef void ClockCallback(void *opaque, ClockEvent event);
+
+The ``opaque`` argument is the pointer passed to ``qdev_init_clock_in()``
+or ``clock_set_callback()``; for ``qdev_init_clocks()`` it is the
+``dev`` device pointer.
+
+The ``event`` argument specifies why the callback has been called.
+When you register the callback you specify a mask of ClockEvent values
+that you are interested in. The callback will only be called for those
+events.
+
+The events currently supported are:
+
+ * ``ClockPreUpdate`` : called when the input clock's period is about to
+   update. This is useful if the device needs to do some action for
+   which it needs to know the old value of the clock period. During
+   this callback, Clock API functions like ``clock_get()`` or
+   ``clock_ticks_to_ns()`` will use the old period.
+ * ``ClockUpdate`` : called after the input clock's period has changed.
+   During this callback, Clock API functions like ``clock_ticks_to_ns()``
+   will use the new period.
+
+Note that a clock only has one callback: it is not possible to register
+different functions for different events. You must register a single
+callback which listens for all of the events you are interested in,
+and use the ``event`` argument to identify which event has happened.

+Obtaining tick counts
+---------------------
+
+For calculations where you need to know the number of ticks in
+a given duration, use ``clock_ns_to_ticks()``. This function handles
+possible non-whole-number-of-nanoseconds periods and avoids
+potential rounding errors. It will return '0' if the clock is stopped
+(i.e. it has period zero). If the inputs imply a tick count that
+overflows a 64-bit value (a very long duration for a clock with a
+very short period) the output value is truncated, so effectively
+the 64-bit output wraps around.
