As a first step I'd suggest to create a superset of all existing and relied-upon wrappers/callbacks, into a single obvious sched_*() or time_*() namespace, without breaking functionality.
Once that is done we can eliminate individual, conceptually redundant callbacks, by carefully morphing the affected arches step by step.
No arch will be left behind.
