Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32 42/42] kvm: x86: only channel 0 of the i8254 is linked to the
 HPET

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

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit e5e57e7a03b1cdcb98e4aed135def2a08cbf3257 upstream.

While setting the KVM PIT counters in 'kvm_pit_load_count', if
'hpet_legacy_start' is set, the function disables the timer on
channel[0], instead of the respective index 'channel'. This is
because channels 1-3 are not linked to the HPET.  Fix the caller
to only activate the special HPET processing for channel 0.
