Subject: [PATCH 12/12] xen/time: add pvclock_clocksource_vread support
Add support to register pvclock_vcpu_time_info structures in the userspace
mapped page and set the xen clocksource .vread method if that works.
The common pvclock code does everything else.

+ * scheduling (kernel scheduling of threads to vcpus, and Xen
+ * scheduling of vcpus to pcpus), we must make sure that the thread
+ * knows it has had a race with either (or both) of these two events.
+ * To allow this, the guest kernel updates the time_info version
+ * number when the vcpu does a context switch, so that usermode will
+ * always see a version number change when the parameters need to be
+ * revalidated. Xen makes sure that it always updates the guest's
+ * version rather than overwriting it. (It assumes that a vcpu will
+ * always update its own version number, so there are no cross-cpu
+ * synchronization issues; the only concern is that if the guest
+ * kernel gets preempted by Xen it doesn't revert the version number
