So when the timer was previously disabled (!(old & 1)) and the count
is non-zero this will cause a spurious auto-reload. I don't this
causes a bug today because the code as-is doesn't support arbitrary
count values, but it is a developer trap should the assumption that
tb->count equals either 0 or the reload value not hold true.

In general, this seems to now dup the code paths for control and
load/counter writes. Both now have a del and reload call for various
changes-of state. I had a go to see if I can consolidate. Turns out,
doing so should implement timer pause and resumption while fixing both
of your bugs, I'll send some patches.
