There are implementations of 5 classes in this file:
LocTimer, LocTimerDelegate, LocTimerContainer, LocTimerPollTask, LocTimerWrapper

LocTimer - client front end, interface for client to start / stop timers, also
           to provide a callback.
LocTimerDelegate - an internal timer entity, which also is a LocRankable obj.
                   Its life cycle is different than that of LocTimer. It gets
                   created when LocTimer::start() is called, and gets deleted
                   when it expires or clients calls the hosting LocTimer obj's
                   stop() method. When a LocTimerDelegate obj is ticking, it
                   stays in the corresponding LocTimerContainer. When expired
                   or stopped, the obj is removed from the container. Since it
                   is also a LocRankable obj, and LocTimerContainer also is a
                   heap, its ranks() implementation decides where it is placed
                   in the heap.
LocTimerContainer - core of the timer service. It is a container (derived from
                    LocHeap) for LocTimerDelegate (implements LocRankable) objs.
                    There are 2 of such containers, one for sw timers (or Linux
                    timers) one for hw timers (or Linux alarms). It adds one of
                    each (those that expire the soonest) to kernel via services
                    provided by LocTimerPollTask. All the heap management on the
                    LocTimerDelegate objs are done in the MsgTask context, such
                    that synchronization is ensured.
LocTimerPollTask - is a class that wraps timerfd and epoll POXIS APIs. It also
                   both implements LocRunnalbe with epoll_wait() in the run()
                   method. It is also a LocThread client, so as to loop the run
                   method.
LocTimerWrapper - a LocTimer client itself, to implement the existing C API with
                  APIs, loc_timer_start() and loc_timer_stop().

// * contains the timers, and add / remove them into the heap
// * provides and maps 2 of such containers, one for timers (or  mSwTimers), one
//   for alarms (or mHwTimers);
// * provides a polling thread;
// * provides a MsgTask thread for synchronized add / remove / timer client callback.

// is possile that all we have are only timers or alarms at one time, so we
// allow dynamically add / remove fds we poll on. The design decision of
