As I understand it, a new device should have its own
CONFIG_WHATEVER switch set in default-configs/arm-softmmu.mak;
we shouldn't share them. (The eventual idea is that you might
want to disable some boards, in which case a config with
only 11mpcore boards and no a9 boards would want the
arm_mptimer but not the a9gtimer compiled.)

Is it really correct that we migrate one of these fields
but not the other, and don't clear either on reset?

Why do we use * 100 here, but only * 10 in the arm_mptimer
scaling function?

The TRM says it's "greater than or equal to". I think
your code is correct, but this comment is wrong.

It looks odd that we're doing our "time to next comparison" in
signed arithmetic, but our "have we fired yet?" check above is
doing an unsigned comparison.

I'm pretty sure the remarks in the TRM are intended as a note to
software authors about how to reliably modify the timer, given
it's a 64 bit field that you can only write 32 bits at a time.
I haven't tested but you'd probably have to go out of your way to
make the h/w not just update the appropriate 32 bits...
I'm happy with this log-and-do-nothing implementation though.

Missing gtb->inc reset.

This makes the memory region pretty much anonymous in the debugger:

(gdb) print s->iomem
$1 = {ops = 0x555555dca4a0, iommu_ops = 0x0, opaque = 0x5555563e5ab0,
owner = 0x0, parent = 0x0, size = {lo = 32,
    hi = 0}, addr = 0, destructor = 0x5555559420d7
<memory_region_destructor_none>,
  ram_addr = 18446744073709551615, subpage = false, terminates = true,
romd_mode = true, ram = false,
  readonly = false, enabled = true, rom_device = false,
warning_printed = false, flush_coalesced_mmio = false,
  alias = 0x0, alias_offset = 0, priority = 0, may_overlap = false,
subregions = {tqh_first = 0x0,
    tqh_last = 0x5555563e7e50}, subregions_link = {tqe_next = 0x0,
tqe_prev = 0x0}, coalesced = {tqh_first = 0x0,
    tqh_last = 0x5555563e7e70}, name = 0x555556348620 "MMIO shared",
dirty_log_mask = 0 '\000', ioeventfd_nb = 0,
  ioeventfds = 0x0, iommu_notify = {notifiers = {lh_first = 0x0}}}

which isn't very nice given that debugging is the main reason
for naming MMIO regions. Can we have something slightly less
ambiguous, please?

This doesn't match the name you pass to qdev_create() in patch 2,
and so we assert on startup.

Shouldn't most of these defines be in the .c file, given that
they're only needed by the implementation, not by users of the
device ?
