Its a bit awkward now. When I keep this patch at this location
it exactly generates above numbers, i.e. 7990 -> 8006.

But if I revert this patch over top of all 30 commits I have, it
doesn't make a difference. Even applying it again over the
revert doesn't make a difference.

There are no other changes to the concerned routine,
retrigger_next_event() in my commits..
