Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [HVM] Fix virtual apic irq distribution

irq handler on different vcpu may see big TSC diff and complain about
the unreliable TSC, then maybe it will try to do TSC sync, which make
guest time keeping complex and unreliable.
How out-of-sync do TSCs of different VCPUs get?
I'd like to see a non-optimised TSC mode in which RDTSC always vmexits
and we implement constant-rate always-sync'ed TSC in Xen. It'd be good
to see if we could at least get that time mode working properly, and
we'll need it anyway for save/restore/migration between machines with
(even only slightly) different clock speeds or the guest will get very
confused.
