@ timer subsystem maintainers: did you discuss how you want to set up
maintenance for this yet? As mentioned, I'm happy stepping up to
maintain this, but if you want to handle it with existing resources that
is perfectly fine as well.

I was hoping we could merge the patches in the near future. The patches
have been on list for quite a while now, and I am happy with the shape
of them. They are in my critical path for merging dependent code in the
rust null block driver.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help move the process
forward.
