Is there a race condition here? Let's pretend this is the 10ms interrupt
        @e gets set in evtchn_pending
        @e in evtchn_mask is set (not zero) because it is still masked
                as Plan is still in the interrupt printing lots of info 
                for me. 

>From my reading of this, if your interrupt handler takes more than 10 ms, 
then you'll never get another timer interrupt @e, since the evtchn_pending 
is now 1. Is there any way in which a callback for timer ints will occur 
if @e in evtchn_pending was set and the mask is now zero? I can't see it.

OK, this I can see.

OK, this I don't totally see. From the code I posted before, it seems to 
me only the first three conditions matter. 

Thanks!
