If the target CPU gets an idle interrupt right after the above call and enqueues
a new timer (which becomes the new earliest), tmigr_cpu_deactivate() ->
tmigr_new_timer() is going to ignore it due to tmc->remote = 1, right?

Or am I missing something else that would make that timer correctly handled?

Thanks.
