From 6a2bdae1c418374aee9b53abfc03cb506647c94e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 11:36:53 +0000 Subject: runqemu: Add workaround for APIC hang on pre 4.15 kernels on qemux86 On pre 4.15 host kernels, an APIC window emulation bug can cause qemu to hang. On 64 bit we can use the x2apic, for 32 bit, we just have to disable the other timer sources and rely on kvm-clock.
