uint64_t instead of unsigned long?  Practically speaking it doesn't change anything,
but I don't see any reason to mix "unsigned long" and "uint64_t", e.g. the max
delay isn't a property of the address space.

Slight preference for uint32_t, mostly because KVM stores its version as a u32.

I think we should make this a TEST_REQUIRE(), or maybe even a TEST_ASSERT().
Support for KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ predates KVM selftests by 7+ years.

Heh, the docs are stale.  KVM hasn't returned an error since commit cc578287e322
("KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling"), which
again predates selftests by many years (6+ in this case).  To make our lives
much simpler, I think we should assert that KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ succeeds, and maybe
throw in a GUEST_ASSERT(thz_khz) in udelay()?

E.g. as is, if KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ is allowed to fail, then we risk having to deal
with weird failures due to udelay() unexpectedly doing nothing.
