This is a race condition where an instruction (except store, system, load atomic and load exclusive) becomes "nop" if interrupt appears and disappears before taken by CPU. For example interrupt appears after the atomic load instruction starts executing and disappears before the atomic load instruction completes, in that case instruction (not all) can become "nop". As interrupt disappears before atomic instruction completes, cpu continues to execute and while take junk from register as other dependent got "nop".

yes, GPRs will get corrupted, will have stale value

No, there are no issue if interrupts are masked.

With the workaround interrupt assertion and de-assertion will be minimum 2us apart.

This errata applies to VM (virtual timer) as well, maybe there is some gap in my understanding, how it will be different in VM.
Can you help with what issue we can have VM?

Minimum 2us, will correct

Yes, minimum 2us,
If "0 < tval < 100", in that case we want to wait 2us after tval expiry, so that turn out to be 2us + 1us (round up of 0 < tval < 100) = 3us.
For 99 < tval < 200, in that case we want to wait 2us after tval expiry, In that case that turn out to be 2us + 2us (round up of 99 < tval < 200) = 4us.

2us is safe value and already considers the time between reading of tval and programming timer.
Expectation is that it will take few cycles in programming timer after reading tval.
