Subject: KVM: Improve local apic timer wraparound handling
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~59^2~2

KVM: Improve local apic timer wraparound handling

Better handle wrap-around cases when reading the APIC CCR
(current count register).  Also, if ICR is 0, CCR should also
be 0... previously reading CCR before setting ICR would result
in a large kinda-random number.
