Subject: [PATCH 34/40] KVM: PIT: provide an option to disable interrupt reinjection
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>
Certain clocks (such as TSC) in older 2.6 guests overaccount for lost
ticks, causing severe time drift. Interrupt reinjection magnifies the
problem.
Provide an option to disable it.
[avi: allow room for expansion in case we want to disable reinjection
of other timers]
