The Freescale hypervisor does not allow guests to write to the timebase registers (virtualizing the timebase register was deemed too complicated), so don't try to synchronize the timebase registers when we're running under the hypervisor. This typically happens when kexec support is enabled. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <redacted>
FWIW, it's not supported under KVM either -- though we don't support an SMP guest under KVM yet, and KVM silently ignores it rather than logs errors as the FSL HV does. -Scott
