Cannot use "hpet" as clock source for qemu guest
Issue
hpet clock source is available on the host:
# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
tsc hpet acpi_pm
It is also configured in guest libvirt xml:
<clock offset='localtime'>
<timer name='hpet' present='yes'/>
</clock>
But it's not available on the guest:
# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
kvm-clock tsc acpi_pm
Environment
