Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 04/13] x86/time.c: Scale host TSC in pvclock properly

This patch makes the pvclock return the scaled host TSC and
corresponding scaling parameters to HVM domains if guest TSC is not
emulated and TSC scaling is enabled.

Changes in v3:
  (addressing Boris Ostrovsky's comments)
  * No changes in fact. tsc_set_info() does not set d->arch.vtsc to 0
    if host_tsc_is_safe() is not satisfied, so it is safe to use
    d->arch.vtsc_to_ns here.

I don't think I understand your argument here. I think last time we decided that vtsc_to_ns can be used only if TSC is constant.
