3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ 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.
