[PATCH] x86/kvm: Don't waste memory if kvmclock is disabled

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Tue Feb 22 2022 - 04:03:00 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Even if "no-kvmclock" is passed in cmdline parameter, the guest kernel
still allocates hvclock_mem which is scaled by the number of vCPUs,
let's check kvmclock enable in advance to avoid this memory waste.
