Log Message:
port-arm/49737: armgtmr0 timer broken

Use physical timer instead of virtual timer for timecounter. For platforms
that implement virtualization extensions, the CNTVOFF register defines a
virtual offset between the physical count and virtual count. Unfortunately,
the CNTVOFF register is only accessible in secure mode and the value is
per-CPU, so we may end up in a scenario where virtual count reads from
CPU A -> B -> A are not monotonic. No offset applied to physical timer,
so physical count reads are guaranteed to be monotonic.
