Hm, as I (finally) come to do that, I realise that many of the others defined in drivers/ptp/Kconfig are also 'default y'. Which is only really 'default PTP_1588_CLOCK' in practice since they all depend on that. Most importantly, PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM is 'default y'. And that one is fundamentally broken (at least in the presence of live migration if guests care about their clock suddenly being wrong) which is why it's being superseded by the new VMCLOCK thing. We absolutely don't want to leave the _KVM one enabled by default and not its _VMCLOCK replacement. Please advise... I suspect the best answer is to leave it as it is?
