It is mainly used on 64bit ARMv8 system.

this counter is ARMv8 arch timer's counter source. As it also has timer function, so I choose it
to act as a broadcast timer for cpuidle. The timer interrupt can only be triggered when 'compare[55:0] <= counter[55:0]'.
So you mean that only use the lower 32bit to implement this timer? If so, I can change to use only the lower 32bit.

Not really necessary, I can remove it.
