Current timer code for ARM EFI is horror. Can anyone test this?

I can verify that this works on my Versatile Express TC2 platform,
with no noticeable performance degradation (and it does increment).
However, could this be moved to kern/efi/init.c?
I will need the same function for the 64-bit ARM port (which I
intend to post a first version of later this week).
Hmm - trunk does not however seem to be able to successfully boot a
Linux kernel on ARM/UEFI currently. I will look into that.

Moving it to kern/efi/init.c would be counterproductive as only arm uses
it. On the other hand it's fine to include 32-bit ARM files in 64-bit
port. We do the same between x86_64-efi and i386-efi.
E.g.
x86_64_efi = kern/i386/efi/init.c;

You may have run into the same issues I run into when I try booting a
Linux kernel with device tree. See my patch at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2013-10/msg00209.html, it
may help.
