Don't confuse the guest by saying steal-time is supported when
it hasn't been configured by userspace and won't work.

I'm not so sure about this. I have always considered the
discovery interface to be "do you know about this SMCCC
function". And if you look at the spec, it says (4.2,
PV_TIME_FEATURES):

<quote>
If PV_call_id identifies PV_TIME_FEATURES, this call returns:
• NOT_SUPPORTED (-1) to indicate that all
paravirtualized time functions in this specification are not
supported.
• SUCCESS (0) to indicate that all the paravirtualized time
functions in this specification are supported.
</quote>

So the way I understand it, you cannot return "supported"
for PV_TIME_FEATURES, and yet return NOT_SUPPORTED for
PV_TIME_ST. It applies to *all* features.

Yes, this is very bizarre. But I don't think we can deviate
from it.

Thanks,

        M.
