This is just crap. Why don't you use request_irq()?

This is completely backwards. We have flags which tell the core not to
enable an interrupt at setup time. Also what's wrong with enabling the
interrupt in the first place? When the timer is stopped then no
interrupts happen and it does not matter a bit whether the irq line is
enabled or not.
