[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 4/4] x86/PV: enable the emulated PIT

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The HVMlite series removed the initialization of the emulated PIT for PV
guests, this patch re-enables it.

NB: Since it's not clear why an emulated PIT is needed, it won't be enabled
by default for HVMlite guests until we can figure out if/why it's needed.

Changes since v1:
 - New in this version.
