Timer driver provides one shot timers. To obtain periodic timers, one may set(start) one shot timer when a Timer Interrupt is occurred.
Also a User or Virtual Timer interface should be implemented and UserTimer module can use this Timer interface to create virtual timers.
Kernel (Scheduler) may use Timer driver to preempt execution for context switching.
