I thought the same, but there is no need for that.  When the enabled bit goes
from set to clear, all timers are disabled:

            } else if (deactivating_bit(old_val, new_val, HPET_CFG_ENABLE)) {
                /* Halt main counter and disable interrupt generation. */
                s->hpet_counter = hpet_get_ticks(s);
                for (i = 0; i < s->num_timers; i++) {
                    hpet_del_timer(&s->timer[i]);
                }
            }

So hpet_del_timer would be a nop if !hpet_enabled(s).
