It worked in so far as we fell back to the non-clock based code, so
things continued to work.  However, a warning was printed at each
boot.

I don't think this ever worked.  Timers are setup very early in the
boot process (going back to 0.99.x times), and core_initcall() has
always been after that, after pid1 has been created.
