"(x86 / CPU: Always show current CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo)"
so we should emulate aperf mperf to achieve it

the period of aperf/mperf in guest mode are accumulated as
emulated value, and add per-VM knod to enable emulate mperfaperf

diff v1:
1. support AMD
2. support per-vm capability to enable

They are same for both vmx and svm, you can put them in kvm_get_msr_common()

BTW, are those two MSR always readable regardless of guest's CPUID?

  	default:
  	find_shared_msr:
  		msr = find_msr_entry(vmx, msr_info->index);
