A kvm-specific function shouldn't be declared in pvclock.h as this is shared
code between KVM and Xen.

It would be helpful to separate out the patches for guest enablement from host
enablement. This is a guest function, correct?

Don't you need an atomic getandset here? Can the host clear this flag or only
set it?

It's ashame we don't have a proper pvclock spec in Documentation/. I would
suggest at least adding a description of how this bit works in the first patch.
