[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 4/6] x86/time: streamline platform time init on plt_init()

[Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And use to initialize platform time solely for clocksource=tsc,
as opposed to initializing platform overflow timer, which would
only fire in ~180 years (on 2.2 Ghz Broadwell processor).

Changes since v1:
 - Remove initialisation to 0.
 - Remove assignment and return mix.
 - Fix the style on plt_overflow_period calculation.

Changes since RFC:
 - Move clocksource_is_tsc variable to this patch.
 - s/1000000000/SECONDS(1)
