Please try to figure out why this happened, it should really work with any
vmsplit, in particular the one that everyone uses.

Makes sense.

Someone recently had a similar bug on some freescale platform, but unfortunately I don't
remember the details. As above, it should really not depend on that option.

Right, but I don't see how that relates to the irqchip. Is the BCM2835 timer
connected to a secondary irqchip, while the arch timer connects to the primary GIC?

That also indicates that there is something wrong with the irqchip.
