Dereferencing gtod->cycle_last all over the place and foing the cycles < last comparison in the vclock read functions generates horrible code. Doing it at the call site is much better and gains a few cycles both for TSC and pvclock.
Caveat: This adds the comparison to the hyperv vclock as well, but I have no way to test that.
