Yes, the tmr module makes exclusive use of one timer channel to implement
virtual timers. You shouldn't play too much with it (in fact it shouldn't be
available to the rest of the system at all, but this isn't implemented yet),
but as long as you only do "read-only operations" (like checking the timer
value), you should be fine.
Best,
Bogdan
