This series adds support for stolen time functionality.

Patch #1 moves the vCPU structure initialisation before the target->init()
call to allow early access to the kvm structure from the vCPU
during target->init().

Patch #2 modifies the memory layout in arm-common/kvm-arch.h and adds a
new MMIO device PVTIME after the RTC region. A new flag is added in
kvm-config.h that will be used to control [enable/disable] the pvtime
functionality. Stolen time is enabled by default when the host
supports KVM_CAP_STEAL_TIME.

Patch #3 adds a new command line argument to disable the stolen time
functionality(by default is enabled).

Changelog since v8:
 - fix an error caused by kvm_cpu__teardown_pvtime() not beeing defined
   for aarch32
 - cleanup the pvtime setup by removing the flag 'is_failed_cfg' and
   drop the 'pvtime_data_priv' definition
 - add missing Review-by tag 

The patch has been tested on qemu-system-aarch64.
