arm: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops 

Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM.

The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no
runtime pvops patching needed.

This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen
ticks accounting.

This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
over full virtualization.

select PARAVIRT
default n
help
Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time
accounting. Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with
the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for
that, there can be a small performance impact.
If in doubt, say N here.

Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM.
