GTM stands for General-purpose Timers Module and able to generate
timer{1,2,3,4} interrupts. These timers are used by the drivers that
need time precise interrupts (like for USB transactions scheduling for
the Freescale USB Host controller as found in some QE and CPM chips),
or these timers could be used as wakeup events from the CPU deep-sleep
mode.

Things unimplemented:
1. Cascaded (32 bit) timers (1-2, 3-4).
  This is straightforward to implement when needed, two timers should
  be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.
2. Super-cascaded (64 bit) timers (1-2-3-4).
  This is also straightforward to implement when needed, all timers
  should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.

what chips actually use this?  just QE or 83xx?

83xx/85xx, QE, CPM2 and CPM1 (no support).
Probably some more old and new chips.
