Subject: [PATCH] x86, hyperv: bypass the timer_irq_works() check
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:02:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390543371-10748-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)

This patch bypass the timer_irq_works() check for hyperv guest since:

- It was guaranteed to work.
- timer_irq_works() may fail sometime due to the lpj calibration were inaccurate
  in a hyperv guest or a buggy host.

In the future, we should get the tsc frequency from hypervisor and use preset
lpj instead.
