I needed to allow RDTSC(P) from userspace and in early boot in order to
get userspace started properly. Patch below.

SEV-ES guests will need to execute rdtsc and rdtscp from userspace and
during early boot. Move the rdtsc(p) #VC handler into common code and
extend the #VC handlers.

Do SEV-ES guests _always_ #VC on rdtsc(p)?

Only if the hypervisor is intercepting those instructions.

Thanks,
Tom
