Compare/Count timer interrupts are handled in-kernel for KVM, so don't
bother starting it in QEMU.

I hate to make you do unrelated changes, but... initializing CP0_Compare
is unnecessary, it should already be 0; and for CP0_Count it should not
be done here. but in cpu_state_reset function. Then here you can call
qemu_register_reset to register another reset callback, and call
cpu_mips_timer_update in that callback.
I'm asking because while
if (!kvm_enabled()) {
env->timer = ...
qemu_register_reset(...);
}
is fine, changing values of registers conditionally is not.
Also, I noticed two things in the implementation of the CPU timer that
should be fixed:
1) right now the hypervisor's frequency is hardcoded to 1/4th of the
host, while QEMU's is 100 MHz. It would be nice to make them either
consistent, or customizable (you can use another ONE_REG interface to
set CPU parameters).
2) in KVM, CP0_Count does not start at the same value on guest reset.
There is a comment that "Linux doesn't seem to write into COUNT", but
QEMU does. So KVM should implement CP0_Count writes and adjust the
"bias" of the guest CP0_Count.
In fact, right now kvm_mips_te_put_cp0_registers should always return
-EINVAL because KVM_REG_MIPS_CP0_COUNT is not handled in
kvm_mips_get/set_reg. Am I missing something?
