Hi The timer module bypasses the kernel interrupt system and modifies the IDT directly when adding its interrupt routine. That may be acceptable for the current kernel, but not for the new kernel, because it is more configurable, i.e. you will be able to specify in the config file such things like whether to use interrupt stack or not, whether to use late ack or mask-ack-unmask and even whether to use the IO-APIC.
