Make KVM_CLOCK depend on HAVE_KVM. Otherwise a Voyager build can
fail with:

Looks like it's a general paravirt vs voyager issue, nothing kvmclock specific about it. Wouldn't it be better to have voyager and paravirt mutually exclude each other, rather than every paravirt user?

HAVE_KVM is intended for the host, not the guest, btw.
