Some clocks might be used by the Xen hypervisor and not by the Linux kernel. If these are not registered by the Linux kernel, they might be disabled by clk_disable_unused() as the kernel doesn't know that they are used. The clock of the serial console handled by Xen is one example for this. It might be disabled by clk_disable_unused() which stops the whole serial output, even from Xen, then. Up to now, the workaround for this has been to use the Linux kernel command line parameter 'clk_ignore_unused'. See Xen bug http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/bug/45 too. To fix this, we will add the "unused" clocks in Xen to the hypervisor node. The Linux kernel has to register the clocks from the hypervisor node, then. Therefore, check if there is a "clocks" entry in the hypervisor node and if so register the given clocks to the Linux kernel clock framework and with this mark them as used. This prevents the clocks from being disabled.
