This breaks Xen PV guests since at this point, and until
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init() which is when pvclock_vcpu_time_info is
mapped, they cannot access pvclock.
Is it reasonable to do this before tsc_init() is called? (The failure
has nothing to do with tsc_init(), really --- it's just that it is
called late enough that Xen PV guests get properly initialized.) If it
is, would it be possible to move simple_udelay_calibration() after
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init()?
