[Qemu-devel] [RFC] target-arm: do not change CNTVOFF_EL2

[hw . claudio]

From: Claudio Fontana <address@hidden>

after a vm is created, the cntvoff_el2 is already calculated
for us by kvm, do not attempt to change it.

This is just an RFC to show where QEMU is causing the change
of CNTVOFF_EL2. This fixes the issue for me, but maybe this
is not the right way to do it?

Thanks,

Claudio
