[PATCH 3/5 V5] Add ioctl for KVMCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED

From: Eric B Munson <hidden>
Date: 2011-12-05 20:20:43
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, kernel virtual machine (kvm), kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Paolo Bonzini, Sean Christopherson, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.
