Penny Zheng 5505f5f8e7 xen/arm: Add Cortex-A73 erratum 858921 workaround
CNTVCT_EL0 or CNTPCT_EL0 counter read in Cortex-A73 (all versions)
might return a wrong value when the counter crosses a 32bit boundary.

Until now, there is no case for Xen itself to access CNTVCT_EL0,
and it also should be the Guest OS's responsibility to deal with
this part.

But for CNTPCT, there exists several cases in Xen involving reading
CNTPCT, so a possible workaround is that performing the read twice,
and to return one or the other depending on whether a transition has
taken place.
