When a host stops or suspends a VM it will set a flag to show this.  The
watchdog will use these functions to determine if a softlockup is real, or the
result of a suspended VM.

A kvm-specific function shouldn't be declared in pvclock.h as this is shared code between KVM and Xen.

It would be helpful to separate out the patches for guest enablement from host enablement. This is a guest function, correct?

Don't you need an atomic getandset here? Can the host clear this flag or only set it?

It's ashame we don't have a proper pvclock spec in Documentation/. I would suggest at least adding a description of how this bit works in the first patch.
