Yes.

When the decrementer goes off in HV mode, it is set to 0x7fff0000. The
decrementer frequency on my Maple seems to be 0x0a6e49c0. At that rate,
it should take ~12 seconds for the decrementer to fire again, waking the
processor. That seems to match your output.
I'm not sure about the zero second results. Perhaps there was an
interrupt pending when you went to sleep? I think the UART would be
unmasked at that point...
We should probably set the decrementer to approx. the time the next Xen
timer will fire before going to sleep.
