The "for arm64" is not that useful.

I'm not keen on making this a compile option, because whatever is not
always on ends up bit-rotting. Please drop the option.

Please move all the PTP-related code to its own function, rather than
keeping it in the main HVC dispatcher. Also assigning a negative value
to something that is unsigned hurts my eyes. Consider using ~0UL instead.
See the comment below though.

This comment doesn't match what I read below.

It'd be a lot clearer if you had a default: case here, handling the
invalid case.

Given that cycles is a 64bit value, how does it work for a 32bit
guest? Or have you removed support for 32bit guests altogether?
