I think it worth to reword to highlight your intention about BUG,
and save 1 call to vcpu_vtimer()

bool kvm_arch_timer_get_input_level(int vintid)
{
struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu = kvm_arm_get_running_vcpu();
struct arch_timer_context *timer = vcpu_vtimer(vcpu);

/* We only map the vtimer so far */
BUG_ON(vintid != timer->irq.irq)

if (timer->loaded)
__timer_snapshot_state(timer);

return kvm_timer_should_fire(timer);
}
