What would the action be in that case? Try send_guest_pirq() a second
time, and not arm the timer (along with clearing all the bits again) if one
of the guests is now able to accept it? Would seem too complicated to me
(the more that then the HVM case would need to be taken care of
explicitly), given that all we try to avoid is a 1ms gap in delivering the
next event. But it would be doable of course.
