I talked to Thomas Gleixner (added to CC) during LPC and he seemed
open to creating a PHC subsystem for pure time devices in virtualized

upstream similar drivers.

Thank you for your patience and help.

I’ll work with Thomas and other potential vendors, likely starting with
an RFC to collect ideas and reach consensus on a dedicated subsystem for
PHC in non-NIC scenarios.

Regards.
