It makes sense to have the tsc_page global variable so that we can
handle the root partition and guest partition cases with common code,
even though the TSC page memory originates differently in the two cases.

But do we also need a tsc_pfn global variable and getter function?  When
the PFN is needed, conversion from the tsc_page virtual address to the PFN
isn't hard, and such a conversion is needed in only a couple of places.  To me,
it's simpler to keep a single global variable and getter function (i.e.,
hv_get_tsc_page), and do the conversions where needed.   Adding tsc_pfn
and the getter function introduces a fair amount of code churn for not much
benefit.  It's a judgment call, but that's my $.02.

I think this may be the same as what Anirudh is saying in his comments on
Patch 4/4 in this series.
