The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending said CPU. In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays), we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.
