I tried few of them but timer_init or map_io are getting called before my
routine is called.

I can add my init routine to map_io's implementation, but i think
map_io is not supposed to be implemented that way. map_io should
be called to statically map devices memory. It is not for hardware
specific initializations.

Is my understanding correct?
