SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/4] Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor

please do _NOT_ call anything like this a "backdoor", anywhere in the
source or the commit log. "Backdoor" is most commonly used for
intentional security holes, and we dont want anything like that in the
kernel code. What this code implements is not a backdoor, it is simply
a facility to discover the hypervisor environment, not a "backdoor".
