mainlining shenanigans

It has been experimentally confirmed that supporting these two MSRs is one of the necessary conditions for nested Hyper-V to use the TSC page. Modern Windows guests are noticeably slower when they fall back to reading timestamps from the HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT MSR instead of using the TSC page. The newly supported MSRs are advertised with the AccessFrequencyRegs partition privilege flag and CPUID.40000003H:EDX[8] "Support for determining timer frequencies is available" (both outside of the scope of this KVM patch).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
