[PATCH v8 1/5] ptp_kvm: probe for kvm guest availability

From: Joao Martins
Date: Wed Nov 08 2017 - 12:20:29 EST


In the event of moving pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va() definition to common
pvclock code, this function would return a value on non KVM guests.
Later on this would fail with a GPF on ptp_kvm_init when running on a
Xen guest. Therefore, ptp_kvm_init() should check whether it is running
in a KVM guest.
