I was thinking of tsens-common.c as a library of tsens functions (v1
and v2). Do you want tsens-common.c to essentially become tsens-v1.c?
We'll end up with quite a bit of duplicated code in that case.

IIUC what you are suggesting, we'll still need to compile in
tsens-common.c even on v2 platforms.

I like that idea.
