[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7] ppc: remove idle_timer logic

[Shivaprasad G Bhat]

The logic is broken for multiple vcpu guests, also causing memory leak.
The logic is in place to handle kvm not having KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_LEVEL,
which is part of the kernel now since 2.6.37. Instead of fixing the
leak, drop the redundant logic which is not excercised on new kernels
anymore. Exit with error on older kernels.
