Ok then it has to be saved/restored irrespective of the value of
HV_X64_MSR_TSC_REFERENCE_ENABLE.

Right. It might be better to initialize kvmclock_offset to zero 
in case of VM creation (QEMU's PUT_FULL state), in case Hyper-V timers
enabled, with reference to MS docs on top.

Otherwise might end up hitting Windows code timers bugs.

But its a potential improvement, patch looks good.

Looks good to me.
