kvm ptp targets to provide high precision time sync between guest and host in virtualization environment. This patch enable kvm ptp for arm64. This patch set base on [1][2][3]
change log: from v1 to v2: (1) move arch-specific code from arch/ to driver/ptp/ (2) offer mechanism to inform userspace if ptp_kvm service is available. (3) separate ptp_kvm code for arm64 into hypervisor part and guest part. (4) add API to expose monotonic clock and counter value. (5) refine code: remove no necessary part and reconsitution.

Timer: expose monotonic clock and counter value arm64: Add hvc call service for ptp_kvm.
