Having been busy on the NV front the past few weeks, I collected a small set of fixes/improvements that make sense even outside of NV. The first one is an interesting fix (actually a regression introduced by the initial set of NV-related patches) reported by Scott and Ganapatrao, where we fail to recognise that a timer that has fired doesn't need to fire again. And again. The second patch is a definite performance improvement on nVHE systems when accessing the emulated physical timer. It also makes NV bearable in some conditions (with FEAT_ECV, for example). The last patch is more of a sanity check. There is no reason to BUG() if we can avoid it at all and kill the guest instead! These patches are 6.3 candidates, although the first one could be a 6.2 fix. M.
