Thanks for this.

Will this work with all guests? We (unfortunately) do not know whether the
guest is Linux with or without PV, Windows with or without PV or what. I
/think/ this is going to give problems when the guest is not using
the PV timer (including Windows). Is that right?

I'd be happiest if it selected native_paravirt whenever the guest was
using the PV timer, but not otherwise. Happy to test patches for that.
