No, timeout() now passes back a cookie which is required for faster lookup in untimeout(), and managing the cookies is painful. Ifdefs would be required in about 41 files to optionally restore the old calling convention. However, it would be easy to test the new API with the old implementation by ignoring the cookies only in kern_clock.c. Bruce
