+/* Overview
+ *
+ * Time handling in VMMs is challenging, and Palacios uses the highest
+ * resolution, lowest overhead timer on modern CPUs that it can - the
+ * processor timestamp counter (TSC). Note that on somewhat old processors
+ * this can be problematic; in particular, older AMD processors did not
+ * have a constant rate timestamp counter in the face of power management
+ * events. However, the latest Intel and AMD CPUs all do (should...) have a
+ * constant rate TSC, and Palacios relies on this fact.
+ *
+ * Basically, Palacios keeps track of three quantities as it runs to manage
+ * the passage of time:
+ * (1) The host timestamp counter - read directly from HW and never written
+ * (2) A monotonic guest timestamp counter used to measure the progression of
+ * time in the guest. This is computed using an offsets from (1) above.
+ * (3) The actual guest timestamp counter (which can be written by
+ * writing to the guest TSC MSR - MSR 0x10) from the monotonic guest TSC.
+ * This is also computed as an offset from (2) above when the TSC and
+ * this offset is updated when the TSC MSR is written.
+ *
+ * The value used to offset the guest TSC from the host TSC is the *sum* of all
+ * of these offsets (2 and 3) above
+ *
+ * Because all other devices are slaved off of the passage of time in the guest,
+ * it is (2) above that drives the firing of other timers in the guest,
+ * including timer devices such as the Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT).
+ *
+ * Future additions:
+ * (1) Add support for temporarily skewing guest time off of where it should
+ * be to support slack simulation of guests. The idea is that simulators
+ * set this skew to be the difference between how much time passed for a
+ * simulated feature and a real implementation of that feature, making
+ * pass at a different rate from real time on this core. The VMM will then
+ * attempt to move this skew back towards 0 subject to resolution/accuracy
+ * constraints from various system timers.
+ *
+ * The main effort in doing this will be to get accuracy/resolution
+ * information from each local timer and to use this to bound how much skew
+ * is removed on each exit.
