[PATCH v4 04/10] tsc: implement the extended tsc reading function

From: Denis Plotnikov
Date: Wed Aug 02 2017 - 10:57:55 EST


By doing that, add tsc clocksource to a list of KVM clocksources
providing valid cycle values, meaning that KVM can use its masterclock.

This is a part of the work aiming to move to a more simple scheme of
masterclock related values calculation in KVM.
