So we add a notifier call chain and more exports to allow what ?

What's the point of replacing current->timer_slack_ns with a
function which does exactly the same ?

That does not make any sense at all. Why is setting
default_timer_slack_ns not subject to validation ? Why is it
treaded seperately ?
