[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 06/14] replay: don't use rtc clock on loadvm phase

[Pavel Dovgalyuk <pavel.dovgaluk@ispras.ru>]

This patch disables the update of the periodic timer of mc146818rtc
in record/replay mode. State of this timer is saved and therefore does
not need to be updated in record/replay mode.
Read of RTC breaks the replay because all rtc reads have to be the same
as in record mode.
