Let me feed some more thoughts here :)

The way it is being detected currently is based on timer idle status bit.
I am worried that, this is the only option we have.

You can also refer to the implementation, so that it will help us to 
conclude on this -

http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-am33x.git;a=commitdiff;h=58abec6ac010f4f8818caa4a52d16c4802e14acc

Note that this is based on v3.2 kernel (+ additional patches), you should 
look the implementation of function omap_dm_timer_switch_src().
