If its too hard to enable interrupts in SPL for you or to provide some
other means of a working get_timer() API, then we needto find another
solution. You started with this weak function, which of course works.
What other options are there? Adding a callback mechanism to register
platform specific callback functions? Even though this might get a
little bit too complicated.

Thanks,
Stefan
