Yes I accept compile-time option is not perfect  in my pre email,
But,Why Ohter paltforms *must* use the virtual counters? I think KVM
should not limit how to use arch timer in its guest OS. Of cause, if
KVM guest use vct can be more efficiency then that use pct. but KVM
should and must support guest OS to access pct.

I want kernel should try its best to boot and run with  the bootloader
not be fixed.
BTW, I also hope all bootloader fix the problem.
