Subject[PATCH 07/12] pvclock: there's no need to copy time_info into shadow
Date
We can use the vcpu_time_info as-is, without needing to copy it.  We just
need to grab a copy of the version number before starting, then we can
compute the time using the time_info directly. If things changed under
our feet, then we just go back and do the whole thing again.
