i'd suggest to remove the #ifdef and push it into xen-head.S.

does the native kernel lose memory here?

this is a cleanup unrelated to the purpose of the patch.

change this to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()/restart_sched_tick() instead.

NACK for now, for the reasons outlined in the 'stolen time' thread.
Stolen time accounting is a concept only related to the scheduler tick,
it's not a concept that should leak into normal timer interrupt

that should be updated to clockevents. (i suspect it already is?)
