As Thomas pointed out, any reason to have a void * here?

However, since he didn't like modifying the struct, here is an
alternative idea:

1) add a "struct clocksource*" argument to ktime_get_snapshot

2) return -ENODEV if the argument is not NULL and is not the current
clocksource

3) move the implementation of the hypercall to
drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c, so that it can call
ktime_get_snapshot(&systime_snapshot, &clocksource_counter);
