This looks awkward: pvtime initialization is done in kvm_cpu__arch_init(), but
teardown is done in the device exit stage.

I think it would be better to choose one approach and stick with it: (1) keep
initialization in kvm_cpu__arch_init() and move teardown to kvm_cpu__delete();
or (2) treat pvtime as a device, move the code to hw/pvtime.c, compile the file
only for arm64 and move initialization to dev_init() (and keep teardown in
dev_exit()).

I have no preference for either, but I think a consistent approach to enabling
pvtime is desirable.

Thanks,
Alex
