And of course, this was my test files by mistake ;-)
Oh god... ;-)

Patches aren't numbered but this one should go first. And please just ignore,
the replica of the hv_clock union definition in the patch bellow. It
should all go in asm/kvm_para.h

The other two patches are fine, and can be applied in any order, so
it's not worth resending. I'll grab your comments first.
