riscv: Add support for timer interrupts
RISCV requires that timer interrupts be handled in machine mode and delegated as necessary. Also you can only reset the timer interrupt by writing to mtimecmp. Further, you must write a number > mtime, not just != mtime. This rather clumsy situation requires that we write some value into the future into mtimecmp lest we never be able to leave machine mode as the interrupt either is not cleared or instantly reoccurs.
This current code is tested and works for harvey (Plan 9) timer interrupts.
