There's no point in merging it without a user.  Make sure either
the network or storage driver is in a good enough shape to move with it,
to make sure the APIs it exports are actually sanely usable.

On the other hand the HV clocksource looks mostly mergeable and doesn't
depend on vmbus.  Send a patch to add it to drivers/clocksource to the
maintainer and it should be mergeable with very little remaining
cleanup.
