I'm not mapping/unmapping every time. I've just changed the
page_to_virt() bit to use kvm_map_gfn() as a one-time setup for now,
because I need it to work for GFNs without a backing page.

I have that working for the shinfo in my tree so far; will do the other
pages next.

In the fullness of time I'd like to eliminate the duplication between
kvm_setup_pvclock_page() and kvm_xen_update_vcpu_time(), which are
doing precisely the same thing. I think that can wait until we fix up
the MMU notifier thing as discussed though, so they can all just do
direct dereferencing.

But I'm inclined not to get hung up on that for now. There are much
more fun things to be playing with.
