Xen RTC emulation
...is that the domain
falls into a tight loop reading RTC RegC, whoes value is always 0xc0.
I have confirmed that switching Xen back to RTC strict mode fixes the
regression, but I am presuming that this alone would be an unpopular fix
upstream.
At the moment, HVMloader unconditionally advertises the RTC_NO_ACK bit
in the WAET table, and Xen unconditionally decides that the domain has
been informed that it should not ack RTC interrupts as per the
specification.
This logic is broken. There is no guarantee that the domain has read
the WAET table, but even if it has, there is no guarantee that it will
act...
