IIUC, this will overflow the u64 mult very quickly (in few minutes) and also I
see that we don't need such small nanoseconds accuracy.

So here we could always fallback to 128-bits mult... or update the epoch from
time to time. But I have something completely different to propose:

Instead of using a "clock" how about we just modify smmu_wait?

#define smmu_wait() {
    static u32 window = arch_timer_get_cntfrq() / ARM_SMMU_EL2_POLL_TIMEOUT_US
    u64 timeout = __arch_counter_get_cntvct() + window;
    u64 cur;

    ...

    while (!(__cond)) {
      ...

      cur = __arch_counter_get_cntvct();
      if (cur >= timeout)
          __ret = -ETIMEOUT;


No risk of overflowing u64
No init necessary
