    KVM: LAPIC: Apply change to TDCR right away to the timer · c301b909
    Wanpeng Li authored
    The description in the Intel SDM of how the divide configuration
    register is used: "The APIC timer frequency will be the processor's bus
    clock or core crystal clock frequency divided by the value specified in
    the divide configuration register."
    
    Observation of baremetal shown that when the TDCR is change, the TMCCT
    does not change or make a big jump in value, but the rate at which it
    count down change.
    
    The patch update the emulation to APIC timer to so that a change to the
    divide configuration would be reflected in the value of the counter and
    when the next interrupt is triggered.
