Many Thanks Jan,

I enclosed the code in '#ifdef CONFIG_HPET_DRIFTFIX ... #endif'
so that it can be easily identified (and removed if the generic API
would be implemented some day). Since the ifdef's are already there
I added the configuration option for convenience. As you don't see
any benefit in this option, I can remove that part of the patch.
However, I'd suggest to keep the ifdef's and do the following:

- Rename to '#ifdef HPET_DRIFTFIX ... #endif' to make it clear that
  this is not controlled via a configuration option.

- Add '#define HPET_DRIFTFIX' to hw/hpet_emul.h.

Do you agree ?


Regards,

Uli
