Understanding timing and the bottom half handlers

I am looking at a lot of different versions of the kernel source (1.x, 2.2, and 2.4) as I am trying to understand the kernel as a whole. In the early versions of the kernel (1.x) In the scheduler init; the bottom half timer routine is defined bh_base[TIMER_BH].routine = timer_bh; bh_base[TQUEUE_
