Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 6/6] virtio_rtc: Add Arm Generic Timer cross-timestamping

Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE2 support on platforms using the Arm Generic
Timer.

Always report the CP15 virtual counter as the HW counter in use by
arm_arch_timer, since the Linux kernel's usage of the Arm Generic Timer
should always be compatible with this.

Notes:
v2:

- Depend on prerequisite patch series "treewide: Use clocksource id for
get_device_system_crosststamp()".

- Return clocksource id instead of calling dropped arm_arch_timer helpers.

- Always report the CP15 virtual counter to be in use by arm_arch_timer,
since distinction of Arm physical and virtual counter appears unneeded
after discussion with Marc Zyngier.
