back to CPU specific cycles. Note that these must not be called in preemptible
context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state,
which would cause non-atomic operation.
Also, convert the KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOCK ioctls to use the kernel
time helper, these should be bootbased as well.
Maybe we want a cut version of this patch, that exposes this API while
adjusting KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOCK to get in early rather than late?
