Subject: [PATCH] PPC: Don't sync timebase when inside VM
Date: Fri,  2 Mar 2012 15:12:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1330697553-27156-1-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)

When running inside a virtual machine, we can not modify timebase, so
let's just not call the functions for it then.

This resolves hangs when booting e500 SMP guests on overcommitted hosts.
