[PATCH] release kvmclock page on reset
From: Glauber Costa
Date: Fri Jan 28 2011 - 14:49:31 EST
Up to know, we were relying on guest cooperation to turn off kvmclock.
I just realized that even though this is fine and nice, a more robust
method is to (also) turn it off on vcpu_reset on the hypervisor side.
This will protect us against reboots, and we don't expect the guest
to reset its cpu during normal operation anyway.
