[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 2/4] x86/xen/time: set pvclock flags on xen_time_init()

[Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Specifically check for PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT and if this bit is set,
then set it too on pvclock flags. This allows Xen clocksource to use it
and thus speeding up xen_clocksource_read() callers (i.e. sched_clock())
