Agreed. I would have preferred a VM-wide ioctl to do this, but since
x86 explicitly allows for drifted TSCs that can't be the case in a
generic ioctl. I can do the same broadcasting as we do in the case of
a VMM write to CNTVCT_EL0.
If you use VM-wide GET/SET_DEVICE_ATTR, please make it retrieve the host
CLOCK_REALTIME and counter at the same time.
