a2c5d4ed92 metag: Time keeping
Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.

985c0679df arm64: Generic timers support
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.
