    [PATCH] i386: vMI timer patches · bbab4f3b
    Zachary Amsden authored
    VMI timer code.  It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
    configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code.  The backend
    timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
    some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
    when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
    hypervisors as well.  So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.
