Yu-hsin Wang 60481e5111 cpu-kvm,arch-arm: correct arm kvm virtual time
According to the kernel code*1, the virtual time is related to physical
timer and cntvoff. When the simulator goes from KVM to gem5, the
physical timer is still ticking. After gem5 simulating models and going
back to KVM, the virtual time also goes away. We should update cntvoff
by ourselve to get correct virtual time.

Moreover, according to update_vtimer_cntvoff*2, setting cntvoff affacts
all vcpus. Instead of puting individual vtime on BaseArmKvmCPU, we
maintain a global vtime, restore it before the first vcpu going into
KVM, and save it after the last vcpu back from KVM.
