This driver adds support for using a virtual precision clock
advertised by the hypervisor. This clock is only useful in virtual
machines where such a device is present.
+ Unlike the KVM virtual PTP clock, the VMCLOCK device offers support
+ for reliable timekeeping even across live migration. So this driver
+ is enabled by default whenever the KVM PTP clock is.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_vmclock.
