Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] ptp: vmclock: support device notifications
VMClock now expects the hypervisor to send a device notification every
time the seqcount lock changes to a new (even) value.
Moreover, add support for poll() in VMClock as a means to propagate this
notification to user space. poll() will notify listeners every time
seq_count has changed to a new (even) value since the last time read()
(or open()) was called on the device. This means that when poll()
returns a (POLLIN) event, listeners need to use read() to observe what
has changed and update the reader's view of seq_count. In other words,
after a poll() returned all subsequent calls to poll() will immediately
return with a POLLIN event until the listener calls read().
