 Hello,

 Furthermore, additional processor utilities such as accessing the MMIO

 The patch series, specifically the library support, is derived from the
 kvm-unit-tests and the kernel itself.

-Addressed comments from Zenghui in include/aarch64/arch_timer.h:
-- Correct the header description
-- Remove unnecessary inclusion of linux/sizes.h
-- Re-arrange CTL_ defines in ascending order
-- Remove inappropriate 'return' from timer_set_* functions, which
-  returns 'void'.
