From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e910a53fb4f20aa012e46371ffb4c32c8da259b4 upstream. If nested tsc scaling is disabled, MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO should never have non default value. Due to way nested tsc scaling support was implmented in qemu, it would set this msr to 0 when nested tsc scaling was disabled. Ignore that value for now, as it causes no harm.
