Clocksource is continuous regardless of the state of the host's TSC.
Currently lguest will spend a lot of of time waking up the host, as it cannot go tickless (if the [host] TSC has been marked unstable). On my laptop I was getting ~40% of wakeups from lguest. With this patch applied, my laptop is much happier! Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
