Re: [PATCH 2/6] kvm: x86: drop read_tsc_offset()

From: Jim Mattson

vmx_read_tsc_offset has a bug when running nested VMs. It should really be:

if (is_guest_mode(vcpu))
return to_vmx(vcpu)->nested.vmcs01_tsc_offset;
else
return vmcs_read64(TSC_OFFSET);

Perhaps a better name woulf be "vmx_get_l1_tsc_offset."

In any case, this does not seem consistent with vcpu->arch.tsc_offset.
