+ *
+ * This can lead to a ping-pong when we return

+ * the min_delta setting this might be far
+ * enough out that the ping-pong starts.
+ *
+ * If the cpu local next_event has expired
+ * then we know that the broadcast timer
+ * next_event has expired as well and
+ * broadcast is about to be handled. So we
+ * avoid reprogramming and enforce that the

+ *
+ * We cannot call the handler directly from
