Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: emulate lapic tsc deadline timer for guest

This patch emulate lapic tsc deadline timer for guest:
Enumerate tsc deadline timer capability by CPUID;
Enable tsc deadline timer mode by lapic MMIO;
Start tsc deadline timer by WRMSR;

Thanks!

And, for qemu patch rebase, I guess below address, which one is right?

Please write a simple test case to arm a lapic timer via wrmsr (see
https://github.com/avikivity/kvm-unit-tests).

Kernel patches have been applied, thanks.

Marcelo,

I'm not quite clear the purpose and usage of test case of the kvm-unit-tests.
Can you give me some hint?

Thanks,

The purpose is to add unit tests for new features (such as lapic
deadline timer). There are examples that make it relatively easy to
construct new test case (or modify existing ones to accomodate new
tests).

Please add a new test case for lapic deadline timer, thanks.

Thanks Marcelo. I will add the test case. Sorry for slow email reply because of holiday.
