Thomas,

A number of weeks ago you had reviewed the time Hyper-V time source driver code
and recommended that I merge it with Hyper-V detection code. That is exactly what I 
have done here. Is this what you had in mind; your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I had sent this patch a couple of weeks ago and got no response. As an X86 maintainer,
would you be willing to take this patch.


Regards,

K. Y
