Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lguest: handle dodgy/non-existent TSC.  Guest code.
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:20:33 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1183530033.6005.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1183529972.6005.1.camel@localhost.localdomain>

We create an "lguest_clock" which the guest uses: either TSC or
jiffies, depending on whether the host tells us the TSC frequency.
