[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v4 22/23] replay: don't process async events when warping the clock

[Pavel Dovgalyuk <Pavel.Dovgaluk@ispras.ru>]

Virtual clock is wapred from iothread and vcpu thread. When the hardware
events associated with warp checkpoint, then interrupt delivering may be
non-deterministic if checkpoint is processed in different threads in record
and replay.
This patch disables event processing for clock warp checkpoint and leaves
all hardware events to other checkpoints (e.g., virtual clock).
