I tried something a bit more dramatic. In arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c, in the case HVM_PARAM_TIMER_MODE, I changed the "goto param_fail;" to "panic("BAD HVMPTM");" and added "timer_mode=6" in the config file, but the panic was not triggered. But the same code/config change in xen-unstable DOES panic.

Am I missing something in configuring this for xen-3.1-testing? Or perhaps the 3.1 patch just isn't passing timer_mode down properly?

Line 1542 of XendDomainInfo.py should be passing the mode down to Xen. Presumably that is not working.

Also, I have a suspicion that timer_mode won't survive a save/restore of an HVM guest, either in unstable or in 3.1-testing. I haven't confirmed this though. But there's no code to do it, so unless it happens automagically...
