[kvm-devel] [PATCH] Add support for HPET periodic timer.

2007-08-10 Thread Luca Tettamanti
Linux operates the HPET timer in legacy replacement mode, which means that the periodic interrupt of the CMOS RTC is not delivered (qemu won't be able to use /dev/rtc). Add support for HPET (/dev/hpet) as a replacement for the RTC; the periodic interrupt is delivered via SIGIO and is handled in the
