Subject[PATCH v2 4/4] hv_util: improve time adjustment accuracy by disabling interrupts
Date
If we happen to receive interrupts during hv_set_host_time() execution
our adjustments may get inaccurate. Make the whole function atomic.
Unfortunately, we can's call do_settimeofday64() with interrupts
disabled as some cross-CPU work is being done but this call happens
very rarely.
