We really want to "kvm_set_irq" during the hrtimer callback,

Instead, offload the work to a workqueue, which is a bit safer
and should provide most of the same functionality.

I don't think this needs to be a raw spinlock any longer (a nice side effect).+

Somewhere, you have to cancel a pending work struct. At least during destruction, but perhaps also if the pit is configured not to generate interrupts any more.
