I don't understand. Why not just fix and extend existing timers.
Sure you will need to add some API's and maybe drop some of the existing
experimental ones (ie alt_timer). Even change the ABI.
It would be better to have one high performance, scaleable timer than
spend the next 3 years telling users which one to use and why!
So please make rte_timer work better in 23.11 release rather
than reinventing a new variant.
