Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix hvm time issue.
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
Do RTC and HPET need to be included as periodic timers? They are never used
by Linux for ticks (it always uses PIT for jiffy updates) and I think
Windows is more robust against (or at least doesn't noticeably complain
about) time jumps.
