[RFC PATCH 1/5] lib: sbi: Preserve stimecmp across domain switches

From: Theodorus Wensan Februanto <theodoruswensanfebruanto025 at gmail.com>

The Sstc extension provides a supervisor timer comparison register.
Without preserving this value, another domain can replace the
previous domain's timer deadline.

Keep a per-domain timer comparison value and initialize new domains
to a future deadline to avoid immediate timer interrupts.
