ipipe_mach_acktimer disappeared, it is in the pre I-pipe core patches.
The documentation for the I-pipe core patches on the ARM architecture is
here:
http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/I-pipe-core:ArmPorting

The linux timer interrupt handler given as example in this documentation
is "omap2_gp_timer_interrupt" function, and is probably the same for
your omap3 derivative.
