Is this something that is observed also with the commits that follow in this
branch?

Ie: would it be possible to compare instead:

    57e95a5c4117 (timers: Introduce function to check timer base is_idle flag)
VS
    b2cf7507e186 (timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU)

Because the improvements introduced by 7ee9887703 are mostly relevant after
b2cf7507e186.

Thanks.
