In previous versions of the Arm architecture, the frequency of the generic timers as reported in CNTFRQ_EL0 could be any IMPDEF value, and for QEMU we picked 62.5MHz, giving a timer tick period of 16ns. In Armv8.6, the architecture standardized this frequency to 1GHz. Because there is no ID register feature field that indicates whether a CPU is v8.6 or that it ought to have this counter frequency, we implement this by changing our default CNTFRQ value for all CPUs, with exceptions for backwards compatibility: * CPU types which we already implement will retain the old default value. None of these are v8.6 CPUs, so this is architecturally OK. * CPUs used in versioned machine types with a version of 9.0 or earlier will retain the old default value. The upshot is that the only CPU type that changes is 'max'; but any new type we add in future (whether v8.6 or not) will also get the new 1GHz default. It remains the case that the machine mo...
