Indeed that sounds like a good idea!

Good point - I'll make the call to kvm_make_request() conditional on
st_base being set.

Good question, and it makes the pvtime_get_st() helper rather pointless.
Will remove.

I don't believe there is a requirement for this to be visible
synchronously - there is an implicit race here if another vCPU is
accessing the structure (because the hypervisor can preempt and update
at any point), so we don't need to push this out with a barrier. However
we must use 64-bit single-copy atomicity writes to ensure that another
vCPU can't see a half-updated value.

Thanks,

Steve
