Second, quite honestly, I don't see a connection to genpd here.

The connection with genpd is because the *reason* the timer was
shutdown/stopped is because it shares power with the CPU, which is why
the timer stops when the CPU hits ceratin low power states.  IOW, it's
in the same power domain as the CPU.

Well, what if you don't have genpd on that system?  Is the problem at hand not
relevant then magically?
