I didn't want to expose the multiplier before testing our tracing
procedure with it. So far we've been only using the TSC offset (and
it works great). I don't even know if I have a machine around to
test it, so it could take a bit.

Will do.

SVM is handled:

Given that SVM is handled, you still want me to do this?

I think Steven would also prefer that, but some people raised the
concern at KVM Forum that creating per vcpu dirs in debugfs may
consume considerable memory for a system running several dozen
if not hundreds of VMs. This concern seems valid to me, but I
can do either way.
