18de5bc4c1 clockevents: fix resume logic
We need to make sure, that the clockevent devices are resumed, before
the tick is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.

Add CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME and call the set mode functions of the clock
event devices before resuming the tick / oneshot functionality.

Fixup the existing users.

Thanks to Nigel Cunningham for tracking down a long standing thinko,
which affected the jinxed VAIO.

9d1ca6f13c lguest: override sched_clock
Guests currently use the default scheduler clock: this means they
always use jiffies even if TSC is actually available.  It doesn't make
any noticeable difference here, but it's a better thing to do.

Also remove commented-out asm/sched-clock.h from -mm tree.

e5faff45b3 lguest: fix sense if IF flag on interrupt injection
The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling.

This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an
interrupt.  It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the
guest is taking a page fault in an interrupt due to an unpopulated
vmalloc mapping), so went unnoticed.

07ad157f6e lguest: the guest code
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux.  Unlike kvm it doesn't need
VT/SVM hardware.  Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go".  Unlike both, it's
5000 lines and self-contained.

Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile).  But given its
hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which
it supplies a complete example for.  There's also a 64-bit version being
worked on and other craziness.

But most of all, lguest is awesome fun!  Too much of the kernel is a big ball
of hair.  lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts
which scream "fork me!".

This patch:

This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.
