The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).
This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

Some subsystems (KVM for example) need access to a cycle counter.
In the KVM case, this is used to measure the time delta between
host and guest in order to accurately generate timer events for
the guest.

This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers
when they are selected via CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER. If they are detected
not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller.
Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement
get_cycles in terms of it for use as both an entropy source and for
implementing __udelay and friends.

All mainline platforms using the ARM architected timers are DT
only. As such, remove the ad-hoc support that is not longer needed
anymore.

Provide an A15 sched_clock implementation using the virtual counter,
which is thought to be more useful than the physical one in a
virtualised environment, as it can offset the time spent in another
VM or the hypervisor.

Add support for the A15 generic timer and clocksource.
As the timer generates interrupts on a different PPI depending
on the execution mode (normal or secure), it is possible to
register two different PPIs.
