Subject: [PATCH 0/6] pvclock fixes

Hi,

This is the last series I've sent, with comments from you merged.
The first 5 patches are the same, only with the suggested fixes.
I am leaving documentation out, since the basics won't change, and
we're still discussing the details.

Patch 6 is new, and is the guest side of the skipping updates
avi asked for. I haven't yet done any HV work on this
(specially because I am not convinced exactly where it is safe to
do).

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Glauber Costa (6):
  Enable pvclock flags in vcpu_time_info structure
  Add a global synchronization point for pvclock
  change msr numbers for kvmclock
  export new cpuid KVM_CAP
  Try using new kvm clock msrs
  don't compute pvclock adjustments if we trust the tsc
