Keir,

is there a reason why schedule.c and timer.c don't both use the latter,
command line controllable value?

Also, aren't the comment and code in vcpu_periodic_timer_work() out
of sync with the actual implementation in timer.c in that a timer will
never expire early (with timer_slop only being used to set an upper
bound on the expiry range)?

Thanks, Jan
