You could use timers.
E.g.
static struct timer_list my_timer = { NULL, NULL, 0, 0, my_function };
my_timer.expires = jiffies+ticks;
add_timer(&my_timer);
This will make your function (my_function) to be called just once!! when
after ticks ticks. Then you could re-add timer to do it again and again.
This is easier than taking control over Timer 0 channel.
Of course there are other possibilities.
