Good point - these changes have grown from an initial KVM-only
implementation, but this is no longer KVM specific in any way. So I'll
rename the KVM part away.

Will do

I suspect we'd have a whole lot of other problems with 64 bit IPAs, but
fair enough; we know the one error code that can be returned.

pv_time_init() seems like a reasonable name, it rolls off the tongue
better than den0057 :)
