According to the ARM ARM, registers CNT{P,V}_TVAL_EL0 have bits [63:32]
RES0 [1]. When reading the register, the value is truncated to the least
significant 32 bits [2], and on writes, TimerValue is treated as a signed
32-bit integer [1, 2].

When the guest behaves correctly and writes 32-bit values, treating TVAL
as an unsigned 64 bit register works as expected. However, things start
to break down when the guest writes larger values, because
(u64)0x1_ffff_ffff = 8589934591. but (s32)0x1_ffff_ffff = -1, and the
former will cause the timer interrupt to be asserted in the future, but
the latter will cause it to be asserted now.  Let's treat TVAL as a
signed 32-bit register on writes, to match the behaviour described in
the architecture, and the behaviour experimentally exhibited by the
virtual timer on a non-vhe host.

This is correct, but how about making it val = lower_32_bits(val) for more
clarity? Apologies for not spotting it earlier :(

Thanks,

That's what it should have been, but I obviously typoed it. As it passed
all my tests, I didn't notice the issue. I'll queue a cleanup once Paolo
has a chance to pull this.
