Is this possible path of any concern? This should throw a warning also
for !RT so probably not…
I prepared the patch below. This one could go straight to tglx's timer tree
since he has the _HARD bits there. I *think* it requires to set the bits
_HARD during _init() and _start() otherwise there is (or was) a warning…

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context on RT
The timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked with
disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT.
The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context
on -RT.
Let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.
