Seems like a redundantly long name; any use of this string is going to
be in a context where it is obviously a clocksource. How about just
"hyperv"?

So you use the DMI signatures to determine whether the module is needed,
but cpuid to work out if the feature is present?

And/or PCI?
Seems a bit... ad-hoc? Is this the official way to determine the
presence of Hyper-V?

This looks generally useful. Should it be hidden away in the
clocksource driver, or in some common hyper-v code? Do other hyper-v
drivers have versions of this?

This just looks like noise, especially since it doesn't identify what is
generating the message. And if you compile this code in as =y
(non-modular) then it will complain every boot.

memcmp, surely?

Why not initialize this in the structure? It's just 100<<22 isn't it?
