Ok. qemu works for me before applying my patches. I've added this into
the series before this patch to fix the boot issue.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: vexpress: Move smp_twd setup to time_late_init hook

On devices without a clock describing the rate of the twd we
detect the rate at runtime via twd_calibrate_rate(). Currently
this happens when smp_prepare_cpus() calls the localtimer start
callback, after the sp804 timer has been registered and when
jiffies have started incrementing.

In the next patch we're going to make twd_local_timer_register()
register the twd clockevent on the boot CPU. In the case of
vexpress, this will hang the system at boot because jiffies
haven't started incrementing when twd_calibrate_rate() is called.
Register the smp_twd during time_late_init() on vexpress to avoid
this problem.

Based on a patch by Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>.
