I dislike like the "02" nomenclature.  "02" is used specifically to refer to
vmcs02 and vmcb02, whereas these helpers touch KVM's software model, not the CPU
struct.  Can't this simply be "l2"?

I normally like splitting patches gratuitously, but in this case I think it would
be better to combine this with the VMX usage in patch 08.  It's impossible to
properly review this patch without looking at its callers.

Case in point, calling back into vendor code to get the L2 multiplier is silly,
just have the caller provide it explicitly.

> +	if (l2_multiplier != kvm_default_tsc_scaling_ratio) {

Why does this check against the default ratio instead of L1's ratio?  If L1 is
running a non-default ratio, but L2 is running a default ratio, won't this result
in KVM leaving vcpu->arch.tsc_scaling_ratio at L1's ratio?  Or is there scaling
ratio magic I don't understand (which is likely...)?  If there's magic, can you
add a comment?

Same feedback for the check in the offset version.
