Add macros to describe the bitfields in the ARM architected timer
control register to make code easy to understand.

For consistency with arm, I think we should also disable the event
stream explicitly here.

Yes it's done. In PATCH 3/5, a new function arch_timer_evtstrm_config is
added which is always called(PATCH 4/5). It's either enabled or disabled
explicitly based on config option for event stream.

Let me know if you think that's not sufficient.
