Hi Thomas That was what i was thinking would happen. And then i started to wonder how well the kernel linker deals with multiple definitions of the same symbol. Dove and 370/XP can end up in the same kernel. So we need to have both orion-timer and the 370/XP timer in the same kernel, so we end up with the same symbol in the kernel twice... Lets wait for Ezequiel to answer.
