Ping? Looks like this fell through the gaps.

Does not apply cleanly here - mind resending the latest version?

Thanks,

It rebased cleanly to 2.6.37-rc3. You can pull it from:

Subject: [PATCH] x86/pvclock: zero last_value on resume

If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).
Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.
