Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: arm/arm64: arch_timer: Gather KVM specific information in a structure

Introduce a structure which are filled up by the arch timer driver and
used by the virtual timer in KVM.

The first member of this structure will be the timecounter. More members
will be added later.

This is also dropping arch_timer_get_timecounter as it was only used by
the KVM code. Furthermore, a stub for the new helper hasn't been
introduced because KVM is requiring the arch timer for both ARM64 and
ARM32.
