Nack. This break migration when using with older machine types. Several questions before I propose an alternative: - are we this fields always needed (then why migration has worked until now) - after reding cpus.c the question is .... why it ever worked? After reading cpus.c, it appears that we only really need this functionality for qemu_clock_get_ns() when called with QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL with icount disabled, right? further grep shows that it is used for acpi_pm_tmr_get_clock, whatever that is. When is this used, thanks?
