I'm afraid I was wrong here - rtc_pf_callback could attempt to
unregister the timer, and thus end up calling
hvm_gsi_unregister_callback inside of a callback.
I need to figure a way to solve this. We already run the RTC in no ack
mode (which is correct because of the flag we expose in the WAET ACPI
table), and hence I wonder if we still need to keep the code for the
strict_mode around, since it's not used at all. Would you be OK with
me removing the mode_strict related code?
Thanks, Roger.
