I tried the approach you suggested by keeping separate context for
SBI path & vstimecmp but this results in in unreliable behavior for
guest (which may use SBI call or stimecmp) because hardware will always
trigger virtual timer interrupt whenever henvcfg.STCE==1 and
"vstimecmp < (time+ htimedelta)".

Further, the hypervisor has no idea if the guest wants Sstc extension
or not unless the hypervisor management tool (QEMU/KVMTOOL)
explicitly disables the Sstc extension for a specific Guest/VM. In
general, the hypervisor management tools can't assume anything
about the features supported by Guest OS so explicitly disabling
Sstc extension for Guest/VM is not a practical approach.

Most hypervisors will always have Sstc extension enabled by default
for Guest/VM by setting the henvcfg.STCE bit whenever hardware
supports Sstc. Once this bit is set, hardware will actively compare
vstimecmp value at every CPU clock cycle. vstimecmp value need to be
saved/restored at vcpu_load/put path always. If the vstimecmp is not
updated in the SBI path, it may contain stale value which will trigger
spurious timer interrupts.
