The current timer test relies on testing the pending state of the timer before the interrupt handler has run which could lower the pending signal again (because it masks the timer output signal). What we really want is to make sure the output signal from the timer as perceived by the virtual interrupt controller is low when the timer is programmed some time far in the future. The proper way to do that is to disable the timer interrupt on the distributor and then reading its pending state.
