I think this should fallback to PIT calibration instead of
MSR_IA32_PERF_STATUS. In addition, I remember Radim mentioned that
"PERF_CTL the target value for PERF_STATUS, but OS shouldn't put much
trust in those values ... especially under KVM, where those MSRs make
little sense." I will try it today.
