Recent versions of Xen disable the virtual HPET by default. This is usually more precise because tick policies are not implemented for the HPET in Xen. However, there may be several reasons to control the HPET manually: 1) to test the emulation; 2) because distros may provide the knob while leaving the default to "enabled" for compatibility reasons. This patch provides support for the hpet item in both sexpr and xm formats, and translates it to a <timer> element. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
