Yup, this is a problem. It probably means we need to #ifdef that chink
as well. I'm not sure I get your remark about not supporting LOCAL_TIMER
though. Are you planning to move away from the LOCAL_TIMER infrastructure?

If that's the case, you might as well know that my pet plan is to get
rid of the LOCAL_TIMER option altogether, and move to a model where each
timer driver is (sort of) autonomous, instead of being driven by the SMP
code.
