Attempt to bring some amount of order to the PV clocks vs. TSC madness in the kernel. The primary goal of this series is to fix flaws with SNP and TDX guests where a PV clock provided by the untrusted hypervisor is used instead of the secure/trusted TSC that is controlled by trusted firmware. The secondary goal (last few patches) is to draft off of the SNP and TDX changes to slightly modernize running under KVM. Currently, KVM guests will use TSC for clocksource, but not sched_clock. And they ignore Intel's CPUID-based TSC and CPU frequency enumeration, even when using the TSC instead of kvmclock. And if the host provides the core crystal frequency in CPUID.0x15, then KVM guests can use that for the APIC timer period instead of manually calibrating the frequency.
