[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] xen/arm: remove physical timer offset

[Jeff Kubascik <jeff.kubascik@dornerworks.com>]

The physical timer traps apply an offset so that time starts at 0 for
the guest. However, this offset is not currently applied to the physical
counter. Per the ARMv8 Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0487E.a), section
D11.2.4 Timers, the "Offset" between the counter and timer should be
zero for a physical timer. This removes the offset to make the timer and
counter consistent.

This also cleans up the physical timer implementation to better match
the virtual timer - both cval's now hold the hardware value.
