RE: [Xen-devel] Re: common time reference between domU and dom0



Urk.  Paolo, I hope Redhat isn't using HVMOP_get_time now as a basis
for pvops time?  That was one of the purposes of all the tsc work
in 4.0 so selecting TSC as the clocksource should have the same
result (and IIRC the trap is faster than the hypercall).
