Rather than have KVM look up the host timer and fiddle with the irq-work internal details, have the powerpc/time.c code provide a function for KVM to re-arm the Linux timer code when exiting a guest. This is implementation has an improvement over existing code of marking a decrementer interrupt as soft-pending if a timer has expired, rather than setting DEC to a -ve value, which tended to cause host timers to take two interrupts (first hdec to exit the guest, then the immediate dec).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
