[PATCH 3.2 196/199] Revert "KVM: x86: expose MSR_TSC_AUX to userspace"

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Mar 10 2017 - 07:35:40 EST


3.2.87-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit bc48f6f5a8c6d628a1af649306eaf906493bb986, which was
commit 9dbe6cf941a6fe82933aef565e4095fb10f65023 upstream. It depends on
several other large commits to work, and without them causes a regression.
