[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 01/18] avoid dubiously clever code in win32_start_timer

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

The code is initializing an unsigned int to UINT_MAX using "-1", so that
the following always-true comparison seems to be always-false at a
first look.  Since alarm timer initializations are never nested, it is
simpler to unconditionally store the result of timeGetDevCaps into
data->period.
