Yes, the naming still says "tsc".  But there's nothing in the code that actually
requires the TSC if hv_get_raw_timer() maps to some other hardware counter on
a different architecture.   That's why the hv_get_raw_timer() abstraction is there
in the first place.  If we didn't care about x86-isms, hv_read_tsc_page_tsc() would
just directly invoke rdtsc_ordered().
