Guest-Hypervisor(NV use-case) uses ptimer as an arch_timer. While running Guest-Hypervisor from a VHE host on a platform which supports FEAT_ECV/CNTPOFF_EL2, burst of spurious ptimer interrupts were generated for a non-zero offset, causing the boot to hang.
The issue is due to the value of CNTPOFF_EL2 is treated as zero while on VHE host. This patch fixes the issue by adjusting the CVAL of a loaded ptimer across the entry and exit of a guest.
This patchset is rebased on NV-V10[1][2]
