Subject: hvm: Default timer_mode=1 (do not delay virtual time for missed
X-Git-Tag: 3.4.0-rc1~214^2~9
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ff1f0088a1480917fc46625f0ba17c413430305;p=people%2Fpauldu%2Fxen.git

hvm: Default timer_mode=1 (do not delay virtual time for missed
ticks). Most guests prefer this mode compared with screwing with
progress of virtual time.
