3.13.11-ckt29 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let
me know.
------------------
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyng...@arm.com>
commit c4cbba9fa078f55d9f6d081dbb4aec7cf969e7c7 upstream.
When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and
the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make
sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to
enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt.
The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest
exit.
