Windows seems to be retrieving HV_X64_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC value only once
on boot-up, checks HV_X64_MSR_TSC_REFERENCE_ENABLE bit allocate one page
and maps it into the system space, and writes the page address to
HV_X64_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC MSR if this bit was not set. Windows keeps the
TSC page address value in HvlReferenceTscPage variable and uses it
every time when needs to read the TSC page content.

The MS documentation says the following:
"A partition's reference time counter is initialized to zero when the
partition is created. The reference time counter for all partitions
count at the same rate. However, at any time, the absolute value of each
reference time counter will typically differ because partitions will
have different creation times."

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542637%
28v=vs.85%29.aspx

However, Windows doesn't seem to be worried about the initial value.
HvlGetReferenceTime only reads  HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT MSR and
returns the obtained value.

I have this code ready. I'm going to send it to qemu 
list as soon as KVM patch will be accepted.
