Honestly, I think these need to be renamed, as "timer_shutdown()"
should be specific to the timer code, and not individual timers.

I'll start making a patch set that starts by renaming these timers,
then adds the timer_shutdown() API, and finished with the trivial
updates, and that will be a real "PATCH" (non RFC).

Linus, should I also add any patches that has already been acked by the
respective maintainer?
