[Qemu-devel] [PULL 03/14] hw/mips/cputimer: Don't start periodic timer in KVM mode

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Sanjay Lal <sanjayl@kymasys.com>

Compare/Count timer interrupts are handled in-kernel for KVM. Therefore
don't bother creating the timer at init time if KVM is enabled. This
will conveniently avoid attempts to set the timeout when
cpu_mips_store_count() is called at reset with KVM enabled, treating the
timer as stopped so that CP0_Count is modified directly.

consistently" which moves timer start to reset time]
