[patch 73/88] KVM: x86: disable kvmclock on non constant TSC hosts

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Apr 30 2009 - 13:41:20 EST


2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


(cherry picked from abe6655dd699069b53bcccbc65b2717f60203b12)

This is better.

Currently, this code path is posing us big troubles,
and we won't have a decent patch in time. So, temporarily
disable it.
