This may well clash with the aio / timers patch series. I think the
current direction is to introduce a dummy AioContext in place
of glib's main loop. That's the bit I have not done yet in the (just
posted) v9 of this patch (and your approach should work with the
v8 approach).

If we went this way we'd add a TimerListGroup to the the GSource
sub class I guess. This does seem a little less hacky. However
we'd have to make g_source timeouts work in nanoseconds rather
than milliseconds.
