This pci_id table is unused. What's the purpose ?

Isn't this a sufficient indicator ?

Do we really need this additional check? I'd say if x86_hyper ==
x86_hyper_ms_hyperv then failing the DMI check would be more than
silly.

Please use clocksource_register_hz/khz and get rid of the hard coded
constants.

Why do we need to build this as a module?

The mult/shift assignments can be dropped. Please use
clocksource_register_hz/khz() which will assign mult/shift for you.

Otherwise it looks pretty straightforward.

One other nit: Should this email address be updated to your current one?

This one shouldn't be needed.

> +#include <asm/hyperv.h>
> +#include <asm/mshyperv.h>

not really a review for this driver, but what's the purpose if having
these two headers?

Shouldn't the Kconfig entry also move from drivers/staging to
arch/x86 towards the other clocksources?

I will fix this.

Both the PCI and DMI tables were defined to ensure autoloading

This ensures we are running on Hyper-V and for that this check is sufficient.

Both the PCI and DMI tables were introduced by Greg to support autoloading.
I will see if I can clean this up.

Will do.

No particular reason. This is the way, I had it in the staging directory.
Do you want me to build this as part of the kernel? I would then not have
to worry about auto-loading issues.

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.

If we get rid of the DMI/PCI stuff then the whole module code is
larger than the real code. So no point in building it modular, just
make it depend on CONFIG_WHATEVER_MEANS_HYPERV
