[v17,03/14] hw/ptimer: Add "continuous trigger" policy

Commit Message

Dmitry Osipenko Oct. 2, 2016, 3:53 p.m. UTC

Currently, periodic timer that has load = delta = 0 performs trigger
on timer reload and stops, printing a "period zero" error message.
Introduce new policy that makes periodic timer to continuously trigger
with a period interval in case of load = 0.
