Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Add ioctl for KVMCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 16:22:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323379379-6529-4-git-send-email-emunson@mgebm.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1323379379-6529-1-git-send-email-emunson@mgebm.net>
Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.
