Hm, now if you hit that race you end up potentially giving *different*
frequencies to different vCPUs in a single guest, depending on when
they were created.

How about this... (and as noted, I think I want to add an explicit KVM
ioctl to set kvm->arch.default_tsc_khz for subsequently created vCPUs).
