Can't say that I'm fond of increasing the number of runtime platform
hooks. Is there a need for this to be changed runtime? If not, you
could make it a real machvec so it will get compiled out for
non-generic, non-sn2 kernel targets. A platform hook in time_init() and
an sn2 wrapper around timer_interrupt() might do the job too.
