Subject: x86/hyper-v: Enable PIT shutdown quirk
From: Michael Kelley <[email protected]>
commit 1de72c706488b7be664a601cf3843bd01e327e58 upstream.
Hyper-V emulation of the PIT has a quirk such that the normal PIT shutdown
path doesn't work, because clearing the counter register restarts the
timer.
Disable the counter clearing on PIT shutdown.
