[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v6 20/32] timer: introduce new QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL_RT clock

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This patch introduces new QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL_RT clock, which
should be used for icount warping. Separate timer is needed
for replaying the execution, because warping callbacks should
be deterministic. We cannot make realtime clock deterministic
because it is used for screen updates and other simulator-specific
actions. That is why we added new clock which is recorded and
replayed when needed.
