[Qemu-devel] [PULL 13/20] kvmclock: fix clock_is_reliable on migration from QEMU < 2.9

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Michael Chapman <address@hidden>

When migrating from a pre-2.9 QEMU, no clock_is_reliable flag is
transferred. We should assume that the source host has an unreliable
KVM_GET_CLOCK, rather than using whatever was determined locally, to
ensure that any drift from the TSC-based value calculated by the guest
is corrected.
