And your patch doesn't have that at all. I know Sean thinks it is a good idea
and perhaps it is but without proper justification and acks from the other
guest type maintainers, I simply won't take such a patch(-set).
I haven't heard anything from other guest type maintainers yet, and they are 
on CC from v12 onward.
And even if it is good, you need to solve it another way - not with this
delayed-work hackery.

IOW, this switching the paravirt clock crap to use TSC when the TSC is this
and that and the HV tells you so, should be a wholly separate patchset with
reviews and acks and the usual shebang.
I agree, we should handle this as a separate patch series.
If you want to take care only of STSC now, I'd take a patch which is known
good and tested properly. And that should happen very soon because the merge
window is closing in. 
In that case, let me limit this only to STSC for now, i will send updated patch.
