Queued, but I'd rather have a subject that calls out that max_tsc_khz

mentions only the change in kvm_timer_init().
What do you think of "KVM: x86: Use current rather than max TSC
frequency if it is constant"?
Ping. This said "queued" but I don't think this ever landed.
What's the status of this?
Paolo, does this need more work?
The features in my second pull request were rejected by Linus so they
will be in 5.19. I'm going to open kvm/next today and the patches will
be there.
Unfortunately he hasn't replied to my rebuttal at
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/30ffdecc-6ecd-5194-14ec-40e8b818889a@xxxxxxxxxx/#t
so I have no idea what his opinion is. I'll try to get more stuff in
early for the next releases.
