This patch adds support for stolen time by sharing a memory region
with the guest which will be used by the hypervisor to store the stolen
time information. The exact format of the structure stored by the
hypervisor is described in the ARM DEN0057A document.

 Changelog since v2:
- Moved the AARCH64_PVTIME_* definitions from arm-common/kvm-arch.h to
   arm64/pvtime.c as pvtime is only available for arm64.

 Changelog since v1:
- Removed the pvtime.h header file and moved the definitions to kvm-cpu-arch.h Verified if the stolen time capability is supported before allocating
   and mapping the memory.

This doesn't change the fact that it overlaps with KVM_PCI_MMIO_AREA, which is
exposed to the guest in the DTB (see my reply to v2).

Yup, this is a bit of a problem, and overlapping regions are
a big no-no. Why can't the pvtime region be dynamically placed
after the RAM (after checking that there is enough space to
register it in the IPA space)?

Thanks,

        M.
