We could run tests for both the ptimer and vtimer in a single execution,
rather than splitting them and requiring the input, because the read of
cntp_ctl_el0 will predictably cause an UNKNOWN exception. Also, by
applying the errata framework we can ensure that if we expect the read
to work, i.e. the host kernel is recent enough, then, if we still get
an UNKNOWN exception, we can report FAIL instead of SKIP. Below is an
add on patch that makes the conversion. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
