Subject: [PATCH 090/351] x86: kvm Require const tsc for RT
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=3636d60b0c62a884fa793ba6bcc2503b3904c635
Non constant TSC is a nightmare on bare metal already, but with
virtualization it becomes a complete disaster because the workarounds
are horrible latency wise. That's also a preliminary for running RT in
a guest on top of a RT host.
