Huh, looks like we managed to merge a backwards write_sysreg into kvm
selftests. write_sysreg in the kernel and kvm-unit-tests is (value, reg).
We should post a patch fixing that before adding more calls to it.

I'll have to look at the test code that uses the above functions, but I
wonder if it wouldn't be better to define two test functions, one for
vtimer and one for ptimer where the sysreg accesses are direct, rather
than all these switched wrappers.

I'll also look at how these wrappers are used, since open coding them may
be OK.
