RISC-V privilege spec defines that mtime is exposed as a memory-mapped
machine-mode read-write register. However, as QEMU uses host monotonic
timer as timer source, this makes mtime to be read-only in RISC-V
ACLINT.
This patch makes mtime to be writable by recording the time delta value
between the mtime value to be written and the timer value at the time
mtime is written. Time delta value is then added back whenever the timer
value is retrieved.
