This is not Y2038-safe.  Please use ktime_get_real_ts64 instead, and
split the 64-bit seconds value between val[0] and val[1].

However, it seems to me that the new function is not needed and you can
just use ktime_get_snapshot.  You'll get the time in
systime_snapshot->real and the cycles value in systime_snapshot->cycles.

This should return a guest-cycles value.  If the cycles values always
the same between the host and the guest on ARM, then okay.  If not, you
have to apply whatever offset exists.
