Correct; I will fix this.

These header files have the defines for checking if we are running on 
Hyper-V.

Currently this driver is built if  HYPERV is defined. I agree with you
that I should have Kconfig entry in arch/x86. Since the rest of the 
Hyper-V drivers are still in staging, I am thinking that perhaps we should 
have a different config switch - HYPERV_CLKSRC. I will go ahead and 
spin a new version of this patch with this change.
