Add a test case for counter emulation on arm64. A side effect of how KVM
handles physical counter offsetting on non-ECV systems is that the
virtual counter will always hit hardware and the physical could be
emulated. Force emulation by writing a nonzero offset to the physical
counter and compare the elapsed cycles to a direct read of the hardware
register.

I skimmed through this, but didn't see any changes from v3 where I had a
couple comments.
Ah, yes, I missed those comments by accident. Thanks!
