I'm interesting in helping to get this into the tree.  I see that
you've address all of the comments in this thread here:

I have one final question.  Don't we need to run rdtsc() in the loop
in pvclock_fetch_vcpu_tinfo()?  If we don't, isn't there a chance that
after we leave the loop, the hypervisor could migrate the guest to a
different CPU where the value returned by rdtsc() will not match the
parameters in the pvclock_time_info structure?
