    xen/arm: Add Cortex-A73 erratum 858921 workaround
    
    CNTVCT_EL0 or CNTPCT_EL0 counter read in Cortex-A73 (all versions)
    might return a wrong value when the counter crosses a 32bit boundary.
    
    Until now, there is no case for Xen itself to access CNTVCT_EL0,
    and it also should be the Guest OS's responsibility to deal with
    this part.
    
    But for CNTPCT, there exists several cases in Xen involving reading
    CNTPCT, so a possible workaround is that performing the read twice,
    and to return one or the other depending on whether a transition has
    taken place.
