They are different. kern_et.c provides event timer drivers API,
timeevents.c consumes it to manage kernel clocks. kern_et.c
theoretically can be used without timeevents.c if some other code
consume timers, for example, exposing them to user-level.

May be names indeed cryptic a bit, but I had no better ideas.

Whatever you like, but why exactly so and why "subr_" important?
