Yes I accept compile-time option is not perfect in my pre email, But,Why Ohter paltforms *must* use the virtual counters? I think KVM should not limit how to use arch timer in its guest OS. Of cause, if KVM guest use vct can be more efficiency then that use pct. but KVM should and must support guest OS to access pct.
