Zachary Amsden 6cb9a8350a [PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fix 
The custom_sched_clock hook is broken.  The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles.  The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).

To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time.  So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along.  This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.

It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.
