[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Hyper-V invariant TSC control feature

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Normally, genuine Hyper-V doesn't expose architectural invariant TSC
(CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]) to its guests by default. A special PV MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_TSC_INVARIANT_CONTROL, 0x40000118) and corresponding CPUID
feature bit (CPUID.0x40000003.EAX[15]) were introduced. When bit 0 of the
PV MSR is set, invariant TSC bit starts to show up in CPUID. When the 
feature is exposed to Hyper-V guests, reenlightenment becomes unneeded.

Note: strictly speaking, KVM doesn't have to have the feature as exposing
raw invariant TSC bit (CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]) also seems to work for
modern Windows versions. The feature is, however, tiny and straitforward
and gives additional flexibility so why not.
