Okay, that should suffice. That presumably calls into the clocksource and gives us our opportunity to sync with Xen's current system time. Effectively it's just hooking into the interrupt handling preamble at a different, more generic, point. :-) -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
