[RFC 0/4] GPU/CPU timestamps correlation for relating OA samples with system events

[Sagar Arun Kamble <sagar.a.kamble@intel.com>]

We can compute system time corresponding to GPU timestamp by taking a
reference point (CPU monotonic time, GPU timestamp) and then adding
delta time computed using timecounter/cyclecounter support in kernel.
We have to configure cyclecounter with the GPU timestamp frequency.
Earlier approach that was based on cross-timestamp is not needed. It
was being used to approximate the frequency based on invalid assumptions
(possibly drift was being seen in the time due to precision issue).
The precision of time from GPU clocks is already in ns and timecounter
takes care of it as verified over variable durations.

This series adds base timecounter/cyclecounter changes and changes to
get GPU and CPU timestamps in OA samples.
