[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.7 0/2] PPC: Fix BookE timer performance regression

[Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>]

Thanks to the new timer infrastructure we are now able to trigger timer events
and ridiculous granularities in sub-microsecond orders.

However, the BookE targets were quite unhappy about that change, showing up
to x10 slowdown on a simple Linux guest bootup test.

This patch set makes the constant timer facilities in BookE more lazy and less
fine grained than they could be. That way we're at least as good as we were in
QEMU 1.6.
