BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778486

== SRU Justification ==
This patch fixes a regression introduced by mainline commit
8003c9ae204e in v4.10.  Without this new patch, OpenBSD guests encounter 
timing issues when running under bionic kernel.

== Fix ==
d8f2f498d9ed ("x86/kvm: fix LAPIC timer drift when guest uses periodic mode") 

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  This fixes a current regression.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
