- This option is only relevant when "reliable connection tracking
- events" are used. Normally, ctnetlink is "lossy", that is,
- events are normally dropped when userspace listeners can't keep up.
-
- Userspace can request "reliable event mode". When this mode is
- active, the conntrack will only be destroyed after the event was
- delivered. If event delivery fails, the kernel periodically
- re-tries to send the event to userspace.
-
- This is the maximum interval the kernel should use when re-trying
- to deliver the destroy event.
-
- A higher number means there will be fewer delivery retries and it
- will take longer for a backlog to be processed.

nf_conntrack_expect_max - INTEGER
Maximum size of expectation table. Default value is
nf_conntrack_buckets / 256. Minimum is 1.

+When KVM_CAP_ADJUST_CLOCK is passed to KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, it returns the
+set of bits that KVM can return in struct kvm_clock_data's flag member.
+
+The only flag defined now is KVM_CLOCK_TSC_STABLE. If set, the returned
+value is the exact kvmclock value seen by all VCPUs at the instant
+when KVM_GET_CLOCK was called. If clear, the returned value is simply
+CLOCK_MONOTONIC plus a constant offset; the offset can be modified
+with KVM_SET_CLOCK. KVM will try to make all VCPUs follow this clock,
+but the exact value read by each VCPU could differ, because the host
+TSC is not stable.

1. Acquisition Orders
---------------------
-(to be written)
+The acquisition orders for mutexes are as follows:
+
+- kvm->lock is taken outside vcpu->mutex
+
+- kvm->lock is taken outside kvm->slots_lock and kvm->irq_lock
+
+- kvm->slots_lock is taken outside kvm->irq_lock, though acquiring
+ them together is quite rare.
+
+For spinlocks, kvm_lock is taken outside kvm->mmu_lock. Everything
+else is a leaf: no other lock is taken inside the critical sections.
