I _believe_ alloc_remap() is the only case where we actually remapped
low memory. However, there is still other code that does __pa()
translations for percpu areas: per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). I _think_ it's
still theoretically possible to get some percpu data in the vmalloc() area.

kvm_vcpu_arch has a
struct pvclock_vcpu_time_info hv_clock;
and I believe I mistook the two 'hv_clock's for each other. However,
this doesn't hurt anything, and the performance difference is probably
horribly tiny.
