Why does this all need to be under arch/arm64? The GTDT really isn't architecture-specific, so I'd *much* rather it was parsed in the driver code itself, like we already do for the architected timer. The GIC is an exception because it's in the MADT, which we need to parse in the arch code to configure SMP properly.
