Subject: [PATCH] [116/275] x86/pvclock: Zero last_value on resume

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@...rix.com>

commit e7a3481c0246c8e45e79c629efd63b168e91fcda upstream.

If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).

Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.
