Console driver that needs extra TIMER

[Kolja Waschk]

Hi,

I'm developing a DMA-based UART driver for Blackfin. It requires an 
extra timer to trigger data processing after a transmission ended. This 
increases the amount of timers required by every application that uses 
it for the console.

E.g. most of the tests won't even start without modifications. So 
effectively I have to fall back to a polling driver for console if I 
want to run the tests unmodified, or is there any mechanism to generally 
increment the amount of timers for all tests?

Thanks,
Kolja
