[Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH 10/33] ia64/xen: add a necessary header file to

Create include/asm-ia64/pvclock-abi.h to compile which contains
the same definitions of include/asm-x86/pvclock-abi.h because ia64/xen
uses same structure.
Hopefully include/asm-x86/pvclock-abi.h would be moved to somewhere
more generic.

Another approach is to include include/asm-x86/pvclock-abi.h
from include/asm-ia64/pvclock-abi.h. But this would break
if x86 header files are moved under arch/x86.
So for now, same definitions are duplicated as suggested by Tony.
