OK.  I'll rework the #ifdef in v3 of the patch set.  Is the following
the preferred approach?

#ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock)
{
	sched_clock_register(sched_clock, 64 NSEC_PER_SEC);
}
#else
#ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock)
{
	pv_ops.time.sched_clock = sched_clock:
}
#else
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock) {}
#endif
#endif
