[ARM SMP] Add core ARM support for local timers

Add infrastructure for supporting per-cpu local timers to update
the profiling information and update system time accounting.

+	  Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
+	  legacy IPI broadcast method.  Local timers allows the system
+	  accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
