Liang Yi 3547c9cd23 hv/mod_timer: make timer into an arch-independent module
x86/timer.[ch] was moved to the common directory largely unchanged.

x86 specific code now resides in x86/tsc_deadline_timer.c and its
interface was defined in hw/hw_timer.h. The interface defines two
functions: init_hw_timer() and set_hw_timeout() that provides HW
specific initialization and timer interrupt source.

Other than these two functions, the timer module is largely arch
agnostic.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
