Secure TSC enabled guests should not write MSR_IA32_TSC(10H) register
as the subsequent TSC value reads are undefined. MSR_IA32_TSC related
accesses should not exit to the hypervisor for such guests.
Accesses to MSR_IA32_TSC needs special handling in the #VC handler for
the guests with Secure TSC enabled. Writes to MSR_IA32_TSC should be
ignored, and reads of MSR_IA32_TSC should return the result of the
RDTSC instruction.
