This looks fine.

The changes to hyperv_timer.c aren't needed and shouldn't be
there, so as to preserve hyperv_timer.c as architecture neutral.  With
your update to hv_setup_sched_clock() in mshyperv.h, the original
code works correctly.  While there are two call sites for
hv_setup_sched_clock(), only one is called.  And once the sched clock
function is set, it is never changed or overridden.
