Per, in our environment, whenever one or a group of parallel output messages
arrive on a given cycle stamp, the controlled clocks are immediately turned
off until those output messages' callbacks are serviced by C, and C returns
control to the hw.

So, batching of output messages from different cycle stamp times is not
possible without changing the clock control we use, and that would lose
determinism, no? Can you conceive of a deterministic way of operation that
allows controlled clock time to progress after an output message has been
sent?
