I merily asked for splitting them out into a separate patch, but I'm fine
with dropping them completely. But with them dropped, there is no point to
actually change the interface right now. Then 1/3 can be dropped as well
and we do a scripted interface change right before 4.13-rc1 and queue the
timer driver changes for 4.14

Thanks,
