[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] Improve PC RTC emulation

[Jan Kiszka]

The aim of this series is to allow using the emulated PC RTC (MC146818)
as a reliable time source for guests. This is particularly useful if the
host runs NTP or has otherwise access to an accurate clock while the
guest has not (no network, impossible to add an NTP implementation
etc.).

In v2, I dropped the introduction of -rtc because it became unrelated
as I'm now converting the RTC to the new host_clock unconditinally. The
command line interface refactoring will be done later in a separate
patch.
