Subject: [PATCH v2] add acpi pmtimer support
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:29:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344922159-22703-1-git-send-email-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)

This patch makes seabios use the acpi pmtimer instead of tsc for
timekeeping.  The pmtimer has a fixed frequency and doesn't need
calibration, thus it doesn't suffer from calibration errors due to a
loaded host machine.

[ v2: add CONFIG_PMTIMER ]
