[PATCH v4] arm64: allow building with kcov coverage on ARM64

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com>
Date: 2016-06-16 16:40:05

Add ARCH_HAS_KCOV to ARM64 config. To avoid potential crashes, disable
instrumentation of the files in arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/*.

v4: - added ack from Marc Zyngier and Tested-by from James Morse
v3: - reverted arch/arm64/boot/Makefile, there's no code in that dir
    - added ack from Mark Rutland
v2: - disable instrumentation of arch/arm64/{boot,kvm/hyp}
    - enable instrumentation of arch/arm64/lib/delay.c
