Sure.

For the ARM case, it seems the situation is slightly different, given
that we reprogram the timer for the next interrupt in
TimerInterruptHandler (), so I don't think we can accumulate pending
interrupts in the same way as x86.

So i'm fine with making this fix specific to OVMF/x86.

Queued as #3829
