arm,kvm: update CP15 timer model when exiting Kvm
The ARM MiscRegs implementation has two interfaces: 'normal' and 'no effect'. The latter acts as a way to access the backing store without architectural 'effects'. For instance, a normal write to a timer compare value would call into the timer model to emulate the device. The 'no effect' interface, however, would just write the value into the register backing store and do nothing else. For Kvm execution, a delicate balance must be struck for the timer device specifically. We need the code in the model to be run, because it contains state other than the register backing store that must stay in sync. On the other hand, we don't necessarily want the timer model to schedule gem5 events when this happens. In this commit, we ensure that we use the 'effectful' MiscReg interface when copying the CP15 timer registers from Kvm back into gem5. The prior commit makes sure that this doesn't generate unnecessary timer events or interrupts.
