[ Upstream commit 4ad1aa571214e8d6468a1806794d987b374b5a08 ]

Add a data structure to represent the reference TSC MSR similar to
other MSRs. This simplifies the code for updating the MSR.

Sasha -- I don't think this patch needs to be backported to any stable versions. Anirudh
or Wei Liu, can you confirm? The patch is more about enabling a new scenario than fixing a bug.

Ack, I'll drop both of the patches you've pointed out. Thanks!
