With the 64-bit requirement removed from VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN,
allow ARM platforms to enable it. Since VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is a
dependency for full NO_HZ, this allows ARM platforms to enable full
NO_HZ as well.

1.8.3.1
From: Kevin Hilman <[email protected]>
With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.
This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.
Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.

1.8.3.1
From: Kevin Hilman <[email protected]>
The CONFIG_64BIT requirement on vtime can finally be removed
since we now depend on HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which
already takes care of the arch ability to handle nsecs based
cputime_t safely.
