For fun, I might have randomized these factors as well.

It would be fun to use a negative offset here (also randomally).

It would be nice to know if the host has stable TSC (you can obtain this via
KVM_GET_CLOCK, the KVM_CLOCK_TSC_STABLE flag).
And if not stable skip the test, to avoid false positives.
(Yes I have a laptop I just bought that has an unstable TSC....)

Overall looks OK to me.
I can't test it, since the most recent Intel laptop I have (i7-7600U)
still lacks TSC scaling (or did Intel cripple this feature on clients like what
they did with APICv ?)
