[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 4/5] add a generic scaling mechanism for timers

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

This enables rt_clock timers to use nanosecond resolution, just by
using the _ns functions; there is really no reason to forbid that.

Migrated timers are all using vm_clock (of course; but I checked that
anyway) so the timers in the savevm files are already in nanosecond
resolution.  So this patch makes no change to the migration format.
