Requires we change the emulated CPU from Cortex-A8 to Cortex-A15, as Cortex-A8 doesn't have the timer extensions. That in turn meant we booted into EL2, so we needed to bounce ourselves into EL1 that the examples were expecting. And that meant making a bunch of Hyp registers available on Armv7-A and Armv8-R, and changing the Armv7-A start-up routine to be the Armv8-R routine.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can we make this one the same order as the others above, with the lower number architecture first?

Fixes #140 by adding generic timer support for Armv7-A.
registers::armv8rmodule and into a newregisters::hypmodule available on Armv7-A and Armv8-R
