I guess to clarify what I really meant was in the code which enables the
PV timer for a domain, rather than specifically in the event channel
hypercall which implements the binding to the timer evtchn. I'm not sure
if enabling the timer is a separate hypercall or is just a side effect
of binding to the evtchn.
