<Fixed Anup's email address>

Because, S-mode will either use the stimecmp or SBI call. It will not
use both randomly.
This is also suggested in the sstc spec[1] as well.

In systems in which a supervisor execution environment (SEE) provides
timer facilities via an SBI
function call, this SBI call will continue to support requests to
schedule a timer interrupt. The SEE
will simply make use of stimecmp, changing its value as appropriate.
This ensures compatibility
with existing S-mode software that uses this SEE facility, while new
S-mode software takes
advantage of stimecmp directly.)
