[RFC PATCH 8/9] arm/arm64: add mechanism to let user choose which counter to return

[Jianyong Wu <jianyong.wu@arm.com>]

In general, vm inside will use virtual counter compered with host use
phyical counter. But in some special scenarios, like nested virtualization,
phyical counter maybe used by vm. A interface added in ptp_kvm driver to
offer a mechanism to let user choose which counter should be return from
host.
To use this feature, you should call PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST(2) ioctl with flag
set bit PTP_KVM_ARM_PHY_COUNTER in its argument then call
PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE(2) ioctl to get the cross timestamp and phyical
counter will return. If the bit not set or no call for PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2,
virtual counter will return by default.
