File xen.bug1026236.suse_vtsc_tolerance.patch of Package xen.26660

suse_vtsc_tolerance=<val>
Reference: bsc#1026236

To avoid emulation of vTSC after live migration or save/restore allow
different clock frequency up to the specified value. If the frequency
is within the allowed range TSC access by the domU will be performed
at native speed. Otherwise TSC access will be emulated. It is up to
the hostadmin to decide how much tolerance all running domUs can
actually handle. The default is zero tolerance.
