Thank you for adding the AMD bits, I did not have a machine to test the
AMD bits on so I left it untouched :)

I might be missing something but is this really strictly needed or is
it really a bug?

I can seeÂupdate_ia32_tsc_adjust_msrÂcalled fromÂkvm_write_tsc onlyÂ
which is called from a)Âvmx_set_msr or b)Âkvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate.
The adjust_msr would only be called if !host_initiated. So onlyÂ
vmx_set_msr which is coming from an L1 write (or a restore but that
would not be !host_initiated). So the only that tsc_adjust is called is
!is_guest_mode.
