Hi Michael,

Previously we've said that for a clocksource we must use the architected
counter, since that's necessary for things like the VDSO to work
correctly and efficiently.

Given that, I'm a bit confused that we're registering a per-cpu
clocksource that is in part based on the architected counter. Likewise,
I don't entirely follow why it's necessary to PV the clock_event_device.

Are the architected counter and timer reliable without this PV
infrastructure? Why do we need to PV either of those?

Thanks,
Mark.
