In contrast to Jean-Christophe's plan

(last sentence) I'd like that we split general ticks/timer code clean 
up and bug fixes. I'd like that we implement the changes proposed by 
Mike and Jean-Christophe independent and don't mix them with other 
fixes for broken timer code like

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-March/049146.html

Having proper/fixed (old style) timer code will make it easier to 
convert to new style afterwards.

 From my point of view this is similar to rule "don't mix coding style 
with functional changes".
