+Subject: [PATCH 090/347] x86: kvm Require const tsc for RT
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz
+
+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.
