[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 06/10] hvm/hpet: In hpet_save, call hpet_get_comparator.



This changes save data to consistent/expected values.  It is not
technically required because hpet_get_comparator() will adjust from
any value to the correct value. And hpet_get_comparator() is
effectivly called in hpet_load via hpet_set_timer.

However it does look strange to people that the output from
xen-hvmctx for the comparator values do not change when the master
clock does.

The software-developers-hpet-spec-1-0a.pdf says that the comparator
will allways be greater than master clock for a periodic timer.

v4:
  Correctly set guest_time.
  Fix formatting of comments.
