Hmm, I thought I had replied to this patch but I didn't.  You don't need
stimers_pending, neither here nor in kvm_hv_notify_acked_sint, if you
just call stimer_mark_pending.  The likelihood of having >1 timer EOI is
probably low enough that calling kvm_make_request more than once is not
an appreciable pessimization.

Otherwise looks good.
