I was going to check this real soon (tonight probably). At this point
the only timer which should be in the list is the host timer. From
memory, the host timer is or was installed in ksrc/nucleus/timer.c or
ksrc/nucleus/pod.c depending on the return value of rthal_timer_request.
rthal_timer_request implementation depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.

So, since we have not checked for some time the code in the case where
this option is disabled, rthal_timer_request return value is probably
now interpreted as meaning that we do not need a host timer, whereas we
need one.

This is my hypothesis at least, but I need to check exactly what happens.
