Now, I was looking to migrate away the timers first but I obviously shouldn't migrate the pinned timers. One way out to identify PINNED timers is to mark them PINNED with the flag bits, which you wouldn't allow. Can you give some other idea with which I can get this solved.

Sigh, I really hoped to find some time to finish the rework, but then you get to debug bugs, solve the problem and are rewarded with a full inbox. Lather, rinse, repeat...

Go ahead and make the timer base aligned with more room for some bits to tweak. The new stuff will have a flags field where stuff like pinned is stored.

Thanks,
