I have two possibilities, I'm not sure if you mean the first or just any
of the two:

  1)
	pending = is_alarm_pending
	mask_alarm_irq
	set time and date
	if (!pending)
		ack_alarm_irq
	unmask_alarm_irq

  2)
	alarmtime = read_alaram
	program_alarm(invalid)
	set time and date
	program_alarm(alarmtime)

I'd prefer 2), is that OK for you, too?

Best regards
Uwe
