SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/4] drivers/clocksource/hyper-v: Introduce a pointer to TSC page

s/later keep/later to keep/

I'd like to see a more robust commit message, and not a partial
sentence that is a continuation of the commit title. Something along the
lines of:

When Linux is running in the root partition of the Microsoft Hypervisor,
the memory for the TSC page is provided by the hypervisor, so the TSC
page address can't be the address of a Linux global variable.

Introduce a global variable to contain the TSC page address. For a guest VM,
it defaults to the address of the Linux global variable. If running in the root
partition, a later patch overrides to be the address of the page provided by
the hypervisor.
