Its a bit odd to me that some patches refactor and replace functions
with new variants all under timer_* namespace, but then we've left some
of them available without that.
Any reasoning behind this? I guess "try_*" is pretty clear and unlikely
to get stolen by other code..?
Kinda. I renamed del_timer*() because that's the ones which we want to
substitute with timer_shutdown*() where possible and reasonable.
A larger timer namespace cleanup is subject to a follow up series.
Thanks,

Yep thats what I figured once I got to the end of the series. Thanks!
