I think the guest would prefer if you saved the time before enabling
interrupts on the host, and use that here instead of ktime_get().
Otherwise the timer could be delayed arbitrarily by host interrupts.

(Because the RISC-V SBI timer is relative only---which is
unfortunate---guests will already pay a latency price due to the extra
cost of the SBI call compared to a bare metal implementation.  Sooner or
later you may want to implement something like x86's heuristic to
advance the timer deadline by a few hundred nanoseconds; perhaps add a
TODO now).
