Will tells me that the arch timers don't stop in low power modes, they
just can't produce wakeup events.  Apparantly the spec says:

   The system counter must be implemented in an always-on power domain.
   Use of lower-frequency modes must not affect the implemented accuracy.

Are you sure your above description of the problem is correct?
