arch-arm: Add basic support for KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ
KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ is a KVM extension introduced in newer versions of
Linux (>= 4.12). It supports delivering interrupt from the kernel-space
timer to the user-space GIC, which means that it will be unnecessary to
use the memory-mapped timer and emulate it in gem5 anymore.
Using the option provided by this change, Linux is able to boot with 1
CPU successfully, and the speed is slightly faster then the memory-
mapped timer option. However, multicore seems to hang during boot and
still needs more investigation to be enabled.
