From: Edgar E. Iglesias <edgar.igles...@gmail.com> When reading cp0_count from a timer with a late trigger that should already have expired, expire it and raise the timer irq.
This makes it possible for guest code (e.g, Linux) that first read cp0_count, then compare it with cp0_compare and check for raised timer interrupt lines to run reliably. Signed-off-by: Edgar E.
