This Hyper-V clocksource/timer driver has intentionally been kept
instruction set architecture independent. See the comment at the top
of the source code file. We've also avoided any "#ifdef x86" or similar, though
it's OK to have #ifdef's on specific clock-related functionality like
GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK.

The reference to "x86_platform" violates the intended independence. The
code to save-on-suspend and update-on-resume can probably stay in this
module in generic form, but hooking the functions into the x86_platform
function call mechanism should move to x86-specific code.
