New Revision: 345359
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/345359

Log:
  Don't attempt to measure TSC skew when running as a VM guest.
  
  It simply doesn't work in general since VCPUs may migrate between
  physical cores.  The approach used to measure skew also doesn't
  make much sense in a VM.
