You're right, and presumably it's also legal to create the PIT before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP. > Userspace might limit itself to > that scenario (PIT implies IOAPIC in-kernel), but that isn't enforced at PIT > creation. I'll play with the "PIT without IOAPIC" scenario and see if something breaks badly with this patch. From reading the code it seems like it should not introduce any problems (oopses or similar), but I'll set this patch aside for now.
