I had a patch for multiple pvclock structures so that they could be
exported to userspace, but I screwed up the Xen side so that it was
trashing memory on context switch. But the use of pvclock in usermode
is fairly iffy anyway, since there are concerns about how to attain the
monotonicity guarantees required by clock_gettime, etc. So at the
moment, neither Xen nor the .32+ kernels have support for that.
