    x86: Implement TSC adjust feature for HVM guest · d9ae7503

    IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is maintained separately for each logical
    processor. A logical processor maintains and uses the IA32_TSC_ADJUST
    MSR as follows:
    1). On RESET, the value of the IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is 0;
    2). If an execution of WRMSR to the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR adds
        (or subtracts) value X from the TSC, the logical processor also
        adds (or subtracts) value X from the IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR;
    3). If an execution of WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR adds (or
        subtracts) value X from that MSR, the logical processor also adds
        (or subtracts) value X from the TSC.
    
    This patch provides tsc adjust support for hvm guest, with it guest OS
    would be happy when sync tsc.
