This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions
for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the
clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock.

The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0
register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space
allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.

Are these CPU timers wakeup capable or we need the wakeup capable
broadcast timer for low power wakeups ?
In that case C3STOP would be needed here.
