PTP_KVM support for arm/arm64
=============================

PTP_KVM is used for high precision time sync between host and guests.
It relies on transferring the wall clock and counter value from the
host to the guest using a KVM-specific hypercall.

``ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_KVM_PTP_FUNC_ID``
----------------------------------------

Retrieve current time information for the specific counter. There are no
endianness restrictions.
