-// This class manages a Real Time Clock (RTC) alarm, a feature that is available
-// from linux version 3.11 onwards.  It creates a file descriptor for the RTC
-// alarm timer and then watches that file descriptor to see when it can be read
-// without blocking, indicating that the timer has fired.
-//
-// A major problem for this class is that watching file descriptors is only
-// available on a MessageLoopForIO but there is no guarantee the timer is going
-// to be created on one.  To get around this, the timer has a dedicated thread
-// with a MessageLoopForIO that posts tasks back to the thread that started the
-// timer.
-//
-// This class is designed to work together with the AlarmTimer class and is
-// tested through the AlarmTimer unit tests.  DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS CLASS
-// DIRECTLY.  Or use it anyway, I'm a comment not a cop.
