Its already applied by Daniel now, and the change is too trivial to
request for an update to his tree. Maybe we should leave it as is for
now.

What's weird (or looks weird) is that we stop the timer when requested
to switch to oneshot mode. But that's what we really wanted, because
set_next_event is the one that will program the timer in oneshot mode.

It just provides per-state API's for what's being done in set_mode()
earlier.
