Subject: x86/vmware: Skip timer_irq_works() check on VMware
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~1077^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=854dd54245f7f1b1175b1bada613929396a571be;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

x86/vmware: Skip timer_irq_works() check on VMware

The timer_irq_works() boot check may sometimes fail in a VM, when
the Host is overcommitted or when the Guest is running nested.

Since the intended check is unnecessary on VMware's virtual
hardware, by-pass it.
