Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] Latest in kernel PIT patch

Here is the latest in kernel PIT patch. Not much change from last edition.

One known issue is on 2.6.9 pae guest(e.g. RHEL4), you need "clock=pit" kernel parameter to get the correct time. That's because the kernel is too active to "fix the lost interrupt" when PIT interrupts pending... We may find more elegant way to deal with it later.

Thanks
Yang, Sheng
