[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] make kvmclock value idempotent for stopped machine |

Although we never made such commitment clear (well, to the best
of my knowledge), some people expect that two savevm issued in sequence
in a stopped machine will yield the same results. This is not a crazy
requirement, since we don't expect a stopped machine to be updating its state,
for any device.
With kvmclock, this is not the case, since the .pre_save hook will issue an
ioctl to the host to acquire a timestamp, which is always changing.
This patch moves the value acquisition to vm_stop. This should mean our
get clock ioctl is issued more times, but this should be fine since vm_stop
is not a hot path.
When we do migrate, we'll transfer that value along.
