Yes. I will work on producing a patch for review.

Agreed, one-shot timers would not be a problem.

Apologies, some how (probably the time of night I was reading the thread)
and all the different subjects within this topic, I miss-read the thread

We have implemented timeouts, however it was done outside the driver and
heavily intergrated with other code and uses 1.5's concurrent thread API.
